Default question from an out-of-stater

I'll be flying into tampa next weekend and going on a cruise for my honeymoon. We can't take liquids on the plane. My question is can you buy alcohol in Florida on Sundays. I know you can't in Indiana, but you can in other states. We just want to get a nice bottle of wine or something for the cruise.

Hahah yes, this is not the bible belt. If you stand out front of a liquor store for a few minutes someone will probably try and sell you some pot.

Haha any clear liquor in a Listerine bottle (bigger than a water bottle) with a drop of blue food coloring!

Yea, what they said. Buy a 2-liter bottle of Coke (or a few), and pour the Rum into there. Now you have pre-mixed drinks!!!

Yeah it sucks sometimes. When I was in college I actually drove about an hour to buy beer on a sunday in IL. I've heard about putting stuff in mouth wash bottles and what not for the cruise. So anything fun to do to kill a few hours while in Tampa?

We loaded up gatorade bottles with rum for the first night, then got the drink pass and made rum and cokes. Then bought 3 bottle of vodka and rum on the first island we hit and brought it right on in my backpack. Was a 4 day booze crusie!
