Does this mean if you are older than 15 you can bring in alcohol legally?

Yes that is what it means.

My three sons (19,17,15) don't call me the "warden" for nothing! LOL!

Well, I wasn't born yesterday (as I tell the boys) but you still have to try and stay one step ahead of the kids! Not always easy......

Actually, I have to say I am very lucky the boys are very responsible and I have never had a problem with them. We have come to a mutually agreeable agreement when it comes to alcholol.

Randi,
I am also lucky and feel very fortunate that I hear "everything" from them...I trust them and they know it and I pray that that continues.

Cindy-Me too! My friends say I am lucky because my kids talk to me, very important!

The boys were shocked that the drinking age in Aruba is 16. I still can't believe that they will let you take alcholol in at 15, we got the best prices on the plane just before we landed on our US Air flight!

Hi
Do you know if age is 15 or 18 to bring 2.25 liters of wine.

[hawks17]

Is it 15 or 18? I have read both.

Customs Rules

Import regulations::

Free import by non-residents older than 15 years (residents may import half the duty free quantities). If more is imported the whole quantity is dutiable:
1. 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars;
2. 1 litre of distilled beverages or 2.25 litres of wine or 3 litres beer;
3. gift articles up to a value of AWG 100.-.

I would like to think that the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has the correct information
