The University of Georgia Is Getting A Florida License Plate

University of Georgia

The University of Georgia will soon have it's own Florida specialty license plate. And they aren't the only college being added. Alabama and Auburn are on the cusp, if preorder requirements of 3,000 plates can be met.

According to the University of Georgia, they have met the presale requirement.

If you're interested in getting one of the Georgia plates, here's their website.  Interest in the University of Georgia is fresh off that National Championship in football. It doesn't look like you need to be an alumni to get one of the plates, so bandwagon fans are welcome.

To get an Alabama plate on your Florida car, here's that link.

Auburn and Alabama still need more presale before those plates can be made. As of Tuesday, Auburn’s presale total stood at 2,705. Alabama was at 1,675.

The Price Of A Bud Light In All 50 States – Ranked

Inflation is hitting us all, especially when it comes to staples like eggs, butter, flour - beer. Yes, I consider beer a necessary staple. Last week we found that Florida ranks second highest state in the country for a price of a dozen eggs.  Today we'll see how Florida ranks in the price of a glass of Bud Light.

Hey Joe, why Bud Light?

Because I have data - and lots of it. Untappd is a software used by nearly 20,000 retailers to publish their menus. So, they know what all of those places charge. That data was used to collect pricing data from all 50 states for a Bud Light. The ranking of all 50 states is for the average price of a 16oz draft pour of Bud Light. The national average in bars, restaurants, and taprooms for a pint of Bud Light is $4.19.

So you don't want a Bud Light? If you're ordering a draft IPA, the average price of that across America is $6.85.

This is the average. Yes, you're going to pay more for a beer if you go to the Fountainbleau in Miami compared to Peter's Sports bar in Lehigh Acres. So if you're traveling across America, here's what you can expect to pay for a 16 ounce draft Bud Light. Ranked.

1. Nevada $5.60

The origin of Sam Adams beer isn't Boston. It's Ohio. Look it up.

46. Pennsylvania $3.68

Eagles fans found a loophole that allowed them to tailgate at the stadium for 11 hours last weekend. That's a lot of drinking.
