Drinking Age in Puerto Rico

The legal drinking age in Puerto Rico is 18, making it one of the few U.S. territories with a lower minimum age than the mainland. Bars, restaurants, and liquor stores strictly enforce this law, so bring a valid ID if you plan to purchase or consume alcohol.

Tips for Drinking Responsibly

  • Drink responsibly and know your limits.
  • Never drink and drive—use rideshare apps like Uber instead.
  • Try local beverages like rum-based cocktails, including the Piña Colada, which was invented in Puerto Rico!
