Welcome to

The Florida Department of Business Regulation is hosting a statewide video contest for student ages 14 to 20 as a creative attempt to convince students not to drink on Spring Break. Students are being asked to send in their most creative 30 second video clip explaining why they won’t drink on spring break. Spokeswoman Jennifer Meale said the Department of Business Regulation is trying to reach kids before they get in trouble with the law.

“Our division of alcoholic beverages and tobacco has agents who go out every spring break and enforce state law and issue citations to underage drinkers. This year we want to get ahead of spring break and actually help underage kids realize why they shouldn’t be drinking and share that message with each other before they’re on the beach being offered a beer,” said Jennifer.

Contest winners will receive Best Buy gift cards and will have their videos posted online. For more information you can go to www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/Why_Not.html
