Where does this math come from?

I guess the 21 being equivalent to 100 years is just an assumption

Which kinda makes the math meaningless cause 73 < 100 requires no calculation.

only if you assume the drinking age is 21 or the equivalent. An assumption that is true for a small percentage of population of the world for a small fraction of human history

only if you assume the drinking age is 21 or the equivalent.

Which is exactly what the character is doing

No the character just confirms that an equivalent age of 15 is too young. 21 is just the baseline age they use to do the calculation, because it lines up with 100 years in elf years. But the bartender wouldnt have to do the second part of the calculation at all if the drinking age is 21. It could easily be 16 or 17 and the elf would still be too young.
