Spring Break doesn’t have to break the bank. In fact, it’s easy to enjoy Spring Break for less than $50 per day. Here’s a guide to spending in Panama City Beach.

Ladies, the top reasons to know your limits…

It is so NOT attractive to have your friends carry you back to your hotel room.

That unfortunate looking guy that was hitting on you earlier is suddenly looking sexier with each drink.

Beer bloat…not your bikini body’s best friend. And, yes sugary cocktails also cause bloating.

Getting trashed is well, just that. Trashy. Keep it classy by keeping it to one drink an hour.

Drink water in between.

By the Numbers
Average Calories in ONE:
Beer: 145
Margarita: 150
Vodka cranberry: 200
White wine: 85 (3.5 fluid oz.)

Stay Safe

Legal drinking age is 21.
Do not leave a bar or restaurant with anyone you don’t know
Be responsible for your friends, use the buddy system
Save swimming for daylight hours
Food is your friend: be sure to consume a hearty meal before a big night out
If you plan to drive anywhere, always plan to have a designated driver. Take turns rotating the DD role throughout the week. And yes, you can get a DWI while driving 5 mph on the strip
Have all of your friend’s cell phone numbers programmed into your phone, as well as the number to your hotel or condo
Do not leave your drink unattended or accept an open drink from someone you do not know extremely well

Have fun, just don’t check your brain at the door. Common sense goes a long way. We want you back next year!
