Also there is no legal age for drinking on open waters. My high school marching band all got suspended. They were on some cruise ship for their end of year trip and every single one either just drank one or two drinks or got totally drunk. It was so bad that they were all locked in their cabins and only allowed out to go eat. When they got back every single one was kicked out of marching band and suspended for 2 weeks. There was only 3 weeks of school left. A lot of them lost band scholarships thanks to that.
You can be prosecuted under your legal system, the legal system of the victim, or, not surprisingly, the U.S. will step in a prosecute the case under its laws. You CAN NOT get away with murder in international waters.
