Need More Rum!

Florida is not exceptional in the nation in its liquor laws being odd and quirky.

One such example is how much you can buy from the site of a distiller.

An individual is limited to six bottles of a given label per year.

I am sure, to some, this seems like a lot of booze...

And it is if you intend to drink it all in one setting.

This limit is in place mainly to protect the distributors from the distillers selling directly to the customer and eliminating the middle man; you can buy as much as you can pay for from a state licensed liquor store.

It fails to account for the recent phenomenon of craft distilleries.  These distilleries are sized too small to get distribution of their entire product line, let alone experiments and limited editions; but they are often becoming large enough to supply a lot more product to a demand that exceeds six bottles a year.

The Florida House has already passed a bill lifting that limit.  HB-1219.

The Florida Senate is doing nothing.

With just a week left in the session, they need to get a move on.  Getting them moving on this will also keep them from doing any anti-gun work, so win-win!

In addition to your senator, these other four Senators need to be called as well.

Benaquisto: 850-487-5027
Simpson: 850-487-5010 <- This is the key player!
Gibson: 850-487-5006
Bracy: 850-487-5011

Give 'em a call and demand more booze!
