I don't understand. You are saying, that you want a method on a pointer to Age and then find it unreasonable, that you are getting a method on a pointer to Age?
If you don't want the argument to be a pointer, use Age.CanDrink instead. Both are valid, because the method set of *Age contains all methods declared on *Age or on Age (according to the spec <https://golang.org/ref/spec#Method_sets>).
