Florida officials are warning those residents in the path of Irma to avoid boozing it up at so-called "hurricane parties." Store owners in recent days have seen Florida residents stock up on water and fuel -- but they’ve also noticed shopping carts filled with liquor and cases of beer. Emergency management officials were aware of these parties and were warning residents against over-indulging as the storm hits, USA Today reported. "We ran out of Captain Morgan's yesterday," Tracey Ferguson, co-owner of Michael's Liquor and Tracey's Lounge in Suntree, told USA Today, referring to a popular brand of rum. The maker of Budweiser also supplied cans of water to parts of Texas following the destruction left by Hurricane Harvey.
