NOTHING will happen. It's the carribean. Hypothetically saying you were getting drunk and the hotel staff found out. Considering you are staying at a resort in the carribean, if a hotel member reported you to the authorities there, chances are they would get fired for doing so because that would mean your family would probably never stay at that hotel again.

The cops there have more important things to worry about such as kidnapping and drug problems in the carribean, underage drinking is so incredibly common there it's like jay walking here in the US.

If you somehow do get in trouble, which is really rare, I'd say the chances are about 1 out of a billion, hand the cop twenty dollars and he'll walk away.

probably nothing bad will happen with the law. if anybody does find out, all you would get is a mean look or something. bars are pretty lax in the carribbean, meaning that anybody can get a drink. when my sister was 15 and my brother was 18 they both got completely smashed and nobody said anything to them... except for my parents, of course. but make sure that the bar you're at doesn't check ids... hang around and watch other people order drinks to make sure.

You won't get in much trouble, but your parents might.

You would not get into trouble if caught, but the bar that served you as a minor would. Unless the Carribean has law that hold a minor accountable for passing themselves off as 18.

If they serve you and you don't do anything dumb(like try to drive or vandalize stuff) there won't be a problem. Even thought you're a tourist you're still your parents responsibility, if you do get caught they will just take you to your parents and chastise them for letting you out of their sight.
