Reports say travel experts are warning Australians going to Bali that the island enforces a legal drinking age of 21. The warnings focus on the risk that visitors who drink while underage may face penalties, including fines, and that some travellers may have difficulty with travel insurance coverage if they breach local laws.
Outlets describe that many young travellers may be unaware of the rule and express surprise when they learn about it. While the coverage emphasizes the practical consequences for visitors—such as fines and potential insurance denial—sources vary in tone and detail. One outlet highlights the possibility of fines or insurance issues as the main concern, while another stresses that the news can come as a shock to young holidaymakers.
