The Sunshine State's Stance on Suds
Florida, bless its sunshine-soaked soul, generally allows the sale of alcoholic beverages between 7:00 am and 12:00 am (midnight). That means you can snag a beer for breakfast (we don't judge... entirely), or stock up for a late-night movie marathon.
However, there's a twist (because Florida wouldn't be Florida without a little somethin' somethin'). Counties and municipalities can set their own restrictions within those state guidelines.
Jacksonville's Beermuda Triangle: Myth or Reality?
Jacksonville, thankfully, isn't some kind of beer-buying Bermuda Triangle. You won't find yourself mysteriously unable to purchase a brew at 3 pm on a Tuesday. Here's the good news: Jacksonville falls in line with the state's standard alcohol sales window. So, you can grab your favorite IPA or a classic lager from 7:00 am to 2:00 am.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
But wait! There's a caveat! Some Jacksonville stores might choose to close earlier than 2:00 am, so it's always a good idea to check their individual hours before you make a late-night beer run.
Pro Tip: Gas station mini-marts are notorious for staying open late (because, let's be honest, they cater to our late-night cravings).
