The legal age to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages within Bermuda is eighteen years. This regulation applies to all establishments licensed to sell alcohol, including bars, restaurants, and retail outlets.
Establishing a defined age for alcohol consumption serves several public health and safety objectives. These include minimizing alcohol-related traffic accidents, reducing instances of alcohol-induced violence, and mitigating potential long-term health consequences associated with early alcohol exposure. Historically, the drinking age has remained consistent, reflecting the island’s focus on responsible alcohol consumption.
