Drinking Age in Costa Rica

April4

What is the drinking age in Costa Rica? As long as you can see over the counter and have a few bucks, you’re old enough to buy alcohol. :)



Although I always tell people that as long as you can see over the counter, you can buy beer in Costa Rica, it was still funny to see this little 8 year old girl buying two cans of Imperial beer at the supermercado. I snapped this picture last time Stefan and I were in Costa. And yes, we were buying Imperial too :) .

    When I was 15 years old, my mom took me and my sisters to Jamaica for a family trip. We stayed at an all inclusive resort.

    The first day there I walked up to the bar and asked if I could drink in Jamaica (meaning, was I old enough?). The bartender handed me a glass of water and asked me to drink it down. I was very disappointed, I mean, I am old enough to drink WATER in the U.S.! I did as I was told but I sulked the entire time. Then, suddenly, he congratulated me, telling me that I was old enough to drink in Jamaica (drinking the water was proof that I could ‘drink’). I ordered a Red Stripe and a Mud Slide. Hmmm…can you say PARTY TIME??!!!!!!

    The only drawback was that ONLY the food was all inclusive, not the booze. At the end of the trip I got grounded for running up $100′s of dollars on our bar tab.

    Ooooops mon, i ging go down an get de ass kicked mon.
