What’s the legal drinking age in Puerto Vallarta?
The legal drinking age in Puerto Vallarta, and throughout Mexico, is 18. This law is strictly enforced, and bars or restaurants may ask for valid identification such as a passport or driver’s license to confirm your age. It’s also worth noting that drinking alcohol in public places, like streets or beaches, is technically prohibited (but usually tolerated) and can result in fines or other consequences. Similarly, public intoxication is against the law. To stay on the safe side, always carry ID.
