    What they mean is that the people in Florida have a different understanding of the word “legal”.

    When most people hear the word “illegal” they think “there will be consequences if I do that”. When Floridians hear the word “illegal” it translates to something between “rude” and “fun”.

      So… i dont quite understand… can 16 year olds buy alcohol even though its illegal for them to? Would it just be considered ‘wrong’? Can you walk down the street with an unconcealed beer and not get fined even though its prohibited? Would it just be a weird thing to do?

        As someone outside of Florida, I would say that they can’t.

        A Floridian wouldn’t allow things like “laws” and “rules” from stopping their ten year old son from getting hammered on a Tuesday morning.
