How do airlines decide whether to serve alcohol

Different countries have different laws regarding minimum drinking age, so I was wondering how do airlines decide who should be allowed to drink alcohol.

For example, let's say an 18 year old flies CO EWR- AMS . Would he be served since he is allowed to drink under Netherland's laws? Or would he be declined since CO is an american airline?
How about if the same 18 year old flies the same route on SQ? Would he be served then, since both Singapore and Netherlands allow an 18 year old to drink?
