Florida Sheriff's Department Discourages Drinking From Disguised Flasks on Spring Break

The Okaloosa County (FL) Sheriff's Department posted to its Facebook page a picture of seized flasks that looked every bit as real as sunscreen as possible, adding the caption, "Spring Break fact: Hiding vodka in a sunscreen bottle only works if you don’t let a Deputy see you drink out of it."

The Okaloosa County (FL) Sheriff's Department is discouraging students on spring break from drinking alcoholic beverages from flasks disguised as sunscreen bottles as seen on a popular television sitcom.

The agency posted to its Facebook page a picture of seized flasks that looked every bit as real as sunscreen as possible, adding the caption, "Spring Break fact: Hiding vodka in a sunscreen bottle only works if you don’t let a Deputy see you drink out of it."

A variety of comments in response to the post ridiculed the use of such flasks—which are readily available for purchase on sites like eBay—ridiculed them as "amateur" noting that drinking a clear liquid from water bottles looks a lot less suspicious than something labeled SPF-30.
