age_verification not working - important case

Joomla!-Version 2.5.7

Hello,

the function age_verification is not working.
The database set an VARCHAR(255) field instead of DATE.
But not matter how i set the field type, i cannot save the birthdate into this database field.

My customer needs this verification for selling champagne in Germany.

I nee help, asap!

Thank you very much!
