The legal drinking age here in the Dominican Republic is 18. Unfortunately, it is not enforced in many parts of the country.

I will tell you the truth though I don't support it at all. In Dominican Republic, people younger than 18 years old aren't supposed to drink alcohol, but everyone knows that they do in parties. The difficulty is getting it. Smoking is meant for 18 years old and up, I live there and I can assure you haven't seen a teenager smoking. Since you're on vacation, maybe you will have the opportunity to have some drinks since it's included in the resort and they won't ask for your age as long as you don't look very young. Have fun on your trip.

I was there a few months ago, and we stayed at an all inclusive resort. In order to get a wristband that allowed me to drink, I had to show an ID stating that I was at least 18. Also, the drinking age at the bars in punta cana (outside the resorts) is 18. But at the places we went, I was never carded, and I look like I'm about 16. I guess it depends on where you go. Have fun on your trip! :)

Unfortunately any age, is normal for parents send their kids to the grocery store to buy drinks and cigarettes, but I guess if you go to a club or some place like that they might have some restrictions. I believe you have to be 18 years old.

I'm sure they have one, but I don't think most people know what it is. I think drinking ages which are enforced is a pure North American creation. I've never seen anyone asked for ID before except in USA and Canada and I've lived on 5 continents.

The Dominican men drink from the time they can afford a bottle.
