Final Thoughts and advice:


So you’ve heard all the talk about which is the best/wildest club, most happenin hotel, the craziest spot to be, bottom line is its all about being at the RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME (no brainer)which could be anywhere in PCB. Not everyone is going to get the exact experience you might have had a year ago, yours might be even better or not quite as good, just hope for the best. ei: You could have a cool security guard that allows you to bring back outside guest though your not supposed to, you might see a little more than what you were expecting at a wet t-shirt contest, maybe your able to sneak into some club, etc.

Keep in mind that little stupid things can change each year. ie: A hotel that didn’t have wristbands may now have them. Security might not be as relaxed as they once where. You might have to pay a small fee for something that you didn’t have to last year, etc.

· Key thing to remember, DON’T BE SHY on break, it gets you nowhere quick. Talk and meet everyone you can.

· Have moments where you disappear from your friends and go on your own little adventures for a few. Consider it an investment.

· Make sure a shot glass doesn’t get in the disposal unit.

· Wear sunscreen… period!

· Wear comfortable shoes/flip flops (never know how long you’ll be on your feet)

· Keep your feet warm.

· Take a camera everywhere you go.

· Get your much needed nutrition for the day and night ahead of you.

· Try your best to get to the clubs early to avoid the snaking lines. (easier said than done I know)

· Tip hard

· Enjoy

Youre good. My friend and I went down last year and we managed to have a pretty great time. Just dont be shy and make new friends everywhere you go

Wat up Tipsters, last year I had bought a gallon of Captian Morgan and before I left home, I filled it with Sand from the Beach, It was a real cool suvanior, that I will keep forever or till I break the bottle, My nephew wants me to bring him one back this year, I need drink up another bottle, U guys going to help me.

P.S. I know U heard this a million times bring your hoodie outfits and sun screen, enuff sun in the day to burn yo a.ss. off, and enuff wind at night to freeze yo a.ss. off, dont be scared of coat chec.

And watch yo Keg tapps on the beach, tie it down if u can, they will steal it as soon as U turn yo head, and please dont leave yo camera or phone laying around, get U a nap sack or something.

And if U got the sliding glass door open an air condtion on at a condo, and it get cold at night your cool system will freeze up. It will thaw bac out and should be Ok but, Im just giving u the heads up though.

Air Freshiners if U smoke, for wen you leave, if its supose to be no smoking.
GOOD LUCK

nice tips in here thanks

Florida’s laws on alcoholic beverages are less restrictive than many other states.

In Florida, alcoholic beverages are sold in private liquor stores, not state-owned establishments. Beer, wine and some liqueurs are generally available in grocery and convenience stores, while hard liquor is not.

Liquor stores must have off-premise licenses only, meaning it is illegal to consume alcohol on the property. Bars and restaurants may not serve liquor from between 1 am and 7 am.

State law prohibits the sale of alcohol on Sunday; however, local laws take precedence.

Within Miami and Dade County, liquor stores operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

In all areas, sale of liquor over 153 proof is prohibited by state law.

Like most states, Florida has a law forbidding open containers of alcohol in motor vehicles. This includes consumption of alcohol by passengers, and re-sealed containers, even re-corked bottles of wine. Any previously, opened bottles should be transported in the trunk.

In Florida, drivers are considered to be driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content (BAC) above .08. A blood alcohol content over the legal limit is considered sufficient proof of violation in a court of law. Both of these laws are consistent with other states. In Florida, the penalties for refusing to take a breathalyzer test are greater than the penalties for driving under the influence. DUI is a felony after the fourth conviction.

The legal drinking age in Florida, as in other states, is 21. The minimum age to work as a server in a restaurant that sells alcoholic beverages in Florida is 18. The minimum age to work as a bartender in a restaurant is 18. Under Florida law, a minor may handle, transport or sell beer or wine in an off-premises establishment at 18. However, in order to legally handle, transport or sell spirits, the worker must be over 21.

Please bear in mind that alcohol sales and consumption are subject to local laws as well as state law. There may be additional restrictions in your city or town, regarding the consumption of alcohol.

Drink Specials: Only 11 states in US do not have any restrictions on drink specials or happy hours. Florida allows unrestricted drink specials. Reference - Iowa White Paper- High Risk Drinking on College Campuses http://www.iowaabd.com/doc/White%20Paper%20Approved.doc

Mandatory Warning Signs Regarding Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS): 21 States and D.C. require FAS warning signs posted at establishments. Florida doesn’t require FAS warning signs. Reference- APIS

Keg Registration: 30 states and WashingtonD.C. have keg registration laws, and Utah does not allow any kegs. FL does not have a keg registration law. Reference- MADD, APIS

Underage Possession: Youth under age 18 charged with underage possession of alcohol are supposed to have drivers license suspended in FL, but this sanction is seldom used.

Underage Alcohol Consumption: 33 states have laws against underage alcohol consumption- Florida does not. Reference- MADD

Serving Intoxicated Persons: Only 3 states in the country do not have laws against serving alcohol to an intoxicated person. Florida is one of the states that do not have this law. (Nevada and Wyoming are the other two) Reference- NLLEA ABC Enforcement

Dram Shop Law:Florida has a weak Dram Shop law with regards to liability for serving obviously intoxicated adults 21 and up- Florida law relieves server/ owner of liability unless the intoxicated person served is a known "habitual drunkard". (Florida Statutes)

Public intoxication:Florida doesn’t have a law against public intoxication.

Age 21 And Up In Bars:Florida allows 18 to 20 year olds to patronize and bartend in bars. In other states, the age is 21 and up.

Alcohol Advertising: There are no restrictions on alcohol advertising in stores, signs or on billboards in FL.

Responsible Vendor Training: The Florida Responsible Vendor Training law is voluntary and grants mitigation of penalties to participating establishments when they break underage drinking laws, and helps protect their license. Other states have mandatory responsible vendor training laws. (APIS)

• If person is 21, this person must have his/her I.D. in their possession.
• Alcohol can be consumed in four places on Panama City Beach:
  - In a Bar or Lounge
  -In a Motel Room
  -On the White Sand Portion of the Beach
  -At the Motel, by the Pool area
• No alcohol is permitted inside cars, walking down the sides of the road, in parking lots, or along Front Beach Road. Motels use this right of way area as a parking area. Refrain from consumption in these areas.

Thank you to everyone for keeping this going!!!!!!!! There are some great tips on here some stuff that i didnt even think of which surprised me!!!!!!!!!

If you want to have a great time on Spring Break all you need to know is Open your mind, try something you wouldnt normally do at home, and let lose, BECAUSE what happens on Spring Break Stays at Spring Break, or gets put on the internet , either way have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guy I know better, but after sitting behind someone in walmart line , witch felt like forever, If somebody in yo groups under 21 have them wait my the door or in the car. They will ask is every one in yo party 21 say yes, and dont take a chance of here asking them to show id there big kids they dont have to be in line wit you. because they will not sell it to you if there not 21 dont waist yo time like there not drinking cause it didnt help the poor b.astard in front of me,
I dont care i wouldnt bust yo balls but they will, straight up.

What is everyone's suggestion for ID's on the beach? I want to drink but I dont want my ID stolen. Some girls i'm going with dont have the luxury of a pocket.

I suggest a couple things, a small bag to keep your personall things like id and money (not much money), but make sure it stays near you or your people because it will disapear.

A second thing you can do is put it in your cooler. I usually have a small or large cooler it beer in it. put your money and ids in a small baggy and put it at the bottom of your cooler under the beer. That one is probably the best!!!!!!!! People actually respect the sanctaty of the beer cooler over someones personal bags. lol.

Last suggestion is hide them in your socks and then put your socks in your shoes to hide them!!!!!!

Hope that helped!!!
