Legally? 18. Reality? Get the money on the table.

Anyone can buy beer or rum at any "colmado" at any time in any town around the island. Absolutely nobody is uptight about this. --Except that in the discotecas of some of the cities they are cracking down on minors in these places--as they should.

But I could send my 2 1/2 year old grandson to the corner store and get a beer--if he would carry it!! LOL!
