Bali is the ultimate lifestyle destination, filled with epic parties and trendy clubs to make the most of your holiday, exploring the lively nightlife and exciting community. However, adhering to the law of the country you visit should always be first and foremost.  While Bali seems like the party central, there are still essential regulations to follow to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience with your crew. What is the legal drinking age in Bali? According to the Indonesian regulation from the Minister of Trade, article 15, it says that the legal drinking age in Indonesia is 21 years old. This means you must be at least 21 years of age to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages.  Can you drink at 18 in Bali? Because of the vibrant lifestyle around the island, as well as from visiting foreigners, the alcohol regulation may seem more relaxed and not as strict. Drinking at 18 in Bali is prohibited, and you must present a valid ID before purchasing alcoholic beverages. Most stores, bars, clubs, and restaurants will enforce this policy, so it is important to always carry a valid identification with you at all times, especially if you’re a visitor. In addition, it is advisable to continue exercising caution and common sense. Responsible Drinking While indulging in Bali’s nightlife and enjoying local alcohol can be a memorable part of your journey, responsible drinking is crucial. Here are some tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience: Where To Purchase Alcohol Bali has a relatively lax alcohol law, which means you can purchase and consume alcohol in a variety of establishments. However, you will find a wide range of varying prices depending on the drinks. Local alcohols are usually more affordable than international ones, but they are still worth trying!  Local Liquor One of the unique aspects of enjoying alcoholic beverages in Bali is the opportunity to savor local concoctions. Arak, a traditional Balinese spirit, is a must-try for those looking to immerse themselves in the local culture. This particular liquor is made up of fermented sap of sugarcane coconut flowers, blended with a variety of grains and fruits for a distinct flavor. However, it’s vital to be cautious, as unregulated or poorly distilled arak can be unsafe to consume. Always opt for reputable sources and established brands when trying local alcohol. While Bali offers a fantastic array of alcoholic beverages to enjoy, it’s crucial to be aware of the legal drinking age and adhere to the local laws in place, and to drink responsibly everywhere you go. Whether you prefer the local arak or international brands, Bali has something for every palate and budget.  At Cafe del Mar Bali, you can find a comprehensive range of liquors to satisfy your cravings, each with a clear price so all guests are well-informed before they order. Plus, a breathtaking sunset view awaits as you indulge in their fabulous Cocktail Hour and other unmissable promos to enjoy with your crew as you bask in the beauty of Bali!
