Drink

Alcoholic beverages abound throughout the state and (at least for being located in the conservative Southern U.S.) has somewhat liberal drinking laws. Liquor stores are quite often built into strip malls, supermarkets, and pharmacies...and most grocery stores, gas stations, and convenience stores sell beer and wine. Bars and clubs are quite popular throughout the state. Miami Beach is well known for a variety of themed and upscale bars with innovative mixed drinks.

Just like every other U.S. state, the purchase and possession age for alcohol is 21 and is fairly well enforced. Underage drinking "stings" are quite frequent in many touristy areas during popular times of year.

Stay safe

Florida has a high occurrence of hurricanes. You might want to check the Hurricane safety page if you are visiting Florida. Beware of lightning in the north central part of the state, especially Dixie County, the state's lightning capital. Volusia County is known for a high number of shark attacks, so be careful when surfing. Also, there is a high occurrence of tornadoes in Florida, so check the Tornado safety page.

Florida has varying crime intensity from city to city. In certain parts of large cities it may not be safe to walk alone or even in small groups at night. Touristy areas rarely have violent crimes, but theft is an occasional occurrence.

Get out

Heading out of Florida to the north is Georgia. Here you will find the historic city of Savannah and the resort beach of Jeckyl Island. In Alabama, Mobile is a historic port city and Gulf Shores is a popular resort. A little further out, Mississippi offers casino gaming in Biloxi and Gulfport.
