I guess there's a lot of drinking done in the keys...

@Luc

There is when I'm down there...

It always starts with "Can I buy you a drink?" and usually ends with pepper spray or handcuffs.

I've done many of those things in key west...well the drinking part anyway.
I did do some fishing. I was appalled at the poor quality of the seafood in general.
The only bar I remember visiting for certain is hog's breath cuz I came home with a t-shirt.
I'm pretty sure I had a good time.
