: : : : I am a parent looking to take my family on a vacation to St. John. I was curious if anyone knows about the drinking age there, so that I can make a final descision about whether to go or not. (If the drinking age is 18, I don't want my 19 year old son bar hopping and getting himself into trouble!)

: : : drinking age is 18..you can even walk into or
: : : out of a bar with a drink..
: : Are you kidding! You would not vaction there because you don't want your son going into a bar! Just tell him that you don't want him going there. You are obviously an over-protective parent.
: : : just because the parent doesnt want their son to drink does not make them an over-protective parent.
: : : Why can't you trust your son? He is an adult, after all, and you should be able to go on vacation without worrying that your son will be bar hopping and getting himself into truoble. He should have been taught that he is responsible for his own actions, and he may learn a little responsibility if you stopped treating him like a child and let him be an adult for a change.
