A friend had this come up recently with her daughter and her friend. I don't believe they had a credit card in either of their names, and ultimately it resulted in some faxing back and forth with the mother who supplied the credit card. If I remember correctly the mother signed something agreeing she would pay for any damages/extras.
If your age is questioned, you might just want to have some solutions available ... as climbermom mentioned, ask them to call and fax a parent who will be held responsible, offer up a notarized letter to that effect, etc.
As it worked for climbermom to do it in advance, you could call the hotel directly in advance, without providing your name and reservation numbers, and simply inquire if they have a policy that would allow for a waiver to be presented in advance. If they do it would likely relieve some anxiety.
