Question:

Can any one drink in puerto rico?

just wondering cuz im goin to a cruize there and i herd there is a drinking age and they dont id u


Answers:
The laws relative to drinking age, smoking age, voting age, and adulthood for other legal purposes are (in my opinion) full of contradictions. This page is being updated as of January 9, 2004. To my best knowledge, the following are true as of this date:

Legal drinking age is 18. Some pubs and other entertainment spots will not allow people under 21 (23 at one place). A valid ID card must be presented. Management usually reserves the right to determine what is a valid ID card. Free tourist guides available at most tourist stops generally list the current entertainment places and the age limitations at each.

Believe it or not, you must prove you are at least 27 years old to buy a pack of cigarettes anywhere.

You can vote at eighteen.

You must be twenty-one to be able to be a party to a contract.

In my opinion, these laws are so contradictory that at least some of them may be changed at some time in the future.

Consumption of liquor in the streets is forbidden by Municipal Ordnances in Old San Juan and in La Parguera. Other municipalities may adopt similar ordnances in the near future.

cool idk but bring me a gift back

dont be in such a rush kid.

Sure.
I don't hear reports of anyone there dying of thirst.

Most Caribbean countries they either don`t have a drinking age or at big hotels they might require you to be an adult or 18 years or older. Not like the ridiculous 21 year age they have in the USA.

As far as drinking goes everywhere is more free than N. America, if you're old enough to pay don't sweat it.

sorry, puerto rico is a u.s. posession and the drinking age is 21, although it is not strictly enforced.

They do ID u in most places, especially in the tourist area where ure going. But if ure over 18, dont worry cause thats the legal age for drinking here

you need to be @ least 18 years old, but many places will sell you drinks without id, especially in the old san juan region, famous pubs.. etc etc

here's a link of some of the most famous pubs with pics
