The established minimum age to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages within Cabo San Lucas, a popular tourist destination in Mexico, is 18 years. This regulation is consistent with the national standard enforced throughout Mexico.
Adherence to this regulation is crucial for maintaining order, protecting public health, and fostering responsible tourism. Historically, the age limit reflects a balance between allowing young adults to participate in the local culture and mitigating potential risks associated with alcohol consumption, such as impaired judgment and alcohol-related incidents.
