There are people with bad credit ratings that cannot get a credit card or for some reason defaulted on the payments and cant use it, they are then locked out of this content even if they wanted to see it.

However they can have drinking and gambling and still keep thier 12+ rating as long as they do it right, the laws on gambling prevent gambling with real money if you are under 18, this is how Zynga poker and things work, because its virtual currency and using gil for gambling can be done.

As for drinking as long as thier is nothing like drink driving (not sure how a drunk goobbue rampage would work) and no drunk fights its perfectly acceptable, past final fantasy games have had little drinking things before, even if its just a pub where the patrons slur thier speech. This sort of things can be added to a 12+ game without an 18+ rating.
