Preparing for Spring Break

From WJHG:

Spring Break ’08 starts this weekend and the beach will begin to see new faces. The local merchants will see some new faces too and they'll have to figure out whether those faces are old enough to drink.

The Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco is helping with that process.

Agency officials held two training sessions Tuesday to teach merchants with liquor licenses how to effectively spot fake i.d.'s.

Business owners and their employees learned what a fake I-D can look and feel like. The training session also outlined the new safety features on state licenses from around the U.S.

But even with those new features, Lt. Jeff Yonce of the Division of Alcoholic Beverages says the best way to crack down on underage drinking is through a group effort.

“We can't do it by ourselves; I mean it's got to be a community effort. It's got to be between law enforcement, the licensees, and the parents. The parents being the most important part of that formula. The parents are the ones that have the most influence on the kids, and we've got to get them involved.”

Under Florida law, any underage person caught with a fake driver's license can automatically have their license suspended for 6-months to a year.

Yeah, there are always a bunch of kids that get busted for drinking underage every year.

The clubs definitely don't play around and most of the stores really crack down during spring Break. The ATF sends undercover agents out to try and bust the stores and clubs for selling to minors. Trust me, these ppl don't want to lose their jobs or go to jail/pay fines.

Businesses are a lot tougher here than they are back at your hometown.

Also, always have a designated driver! Cops are everywhere during SB. They recruit extra forces during March.

I know it sounds like preaching, but in jail or the hospital is no way to spend your Spring Break!



Thanks for the post Gagirl!
