I agree with the drinking age thing, if kids can't or don't drink here then when they are at a place where there are no real rules they tend to over do. Its just human nature. But then again most kids drink anyway here, so.. I was in aruba with my 3 daughters in april and never saw them asked for an I.D. and only one of them was over 18. As far as Carlos and Charlies it is just a bar, where the kids or adults go to get drunk...but I sure wouldn't have wanted my 17 year old girls hanging in there. sorry.....
