Travelling with 18 year olds

ottawakate · 02-09-2006

Yes we probably need our heads read, but have two 18 year old nieces joining us for part of our vacation in Playa...wondering if any other peeps have similar company. We likely won't see much of them but you never know, they might get a kick out of hanging around with the old folks.
Long time since I saw 18 and my curiosity gets the better of me...is there an age for legal drinking in Mexico? Any night spots to avoid or to recommend for them? Tips appreciated.

What he said. My son was sneaking beers at 16 in Playa. You got the pesos, they got the beer. He was pretty cool about it though. He speaks fluent spanish and tried to bullshit me that it was a cultural thing!

When are you going? We are going March 12-19 and are bring 17, 18, 19 (boys) and 17 and 20 (girls). If they normally are good kids I wouldn't worry at all. We have did this with our kids since they have been 13 and yes they do serve them drinks but if they are responsible kids I wouldn't worry about it. They have a great time.

Can I introduce you all to the countdown timer? If you look at the bottom of ottawakate's post, you'll see a little beach scene and at the bottom of that picture, it says "14 days and counting." Which means... she'll be in Playa in... 14 days!

19 year old daughter is coming with us March 4 - 11, since she will quickly be sick of her 10 year old sister, I'm sure she'd like to find someone to hang sans parents.

The legal drinking age is 18 but it is rarely enforced.

When we were there over the holidays, Jessie just wanted to lay on the beach during the day and party at Carlos and Charlies at night. I has a younger crowd, fun waiters and a party atmosphere. Just remind them to always hold onto their drinks and purses.
They will serve whoever is buying, but they watch out for the young american tourists.
At least that was our experience.

Sorry the timer lists the number of days not the date. Did not have a calender to count the days
