[Andrea J.]

i am a mother
i am 54 yrs old

but as moderator of this site i am not allowed to chastise you for your paerticipation.

so speaking as moderator............ you have a better chance of being served liquor in aruba than you do of participating in gambling in one of the casinos.

my son was carded numerous times at many of the casinos even whenn he was 20.

never carded on obtaining liquor.

he is 23 now

i bet you will hear from many parents on this thread.

no matter what replies you get.........welcome to the forum

I'm 17, and unfortunately will still be 17 during my stay on the island of Aruba... People say i look 19/21-ish and i'm wondering if the drinking/gambling age is really as lax as I have heard if the person in question looks to be above the right age.

I like to do research when i travel; best casinos, bars, nightclubs, etc... and i'm wondering if its worth even taking the time to do so...

Any input would be fantastic. Thanks.
