With spring break in full swing here in Panama City Beach, attendance is up and so is underage drinking.

News Channel Seven's Nicole Morten spent an evening with undercover agents to show you what happens when you get caught.

You know, teen drinking goes on year round but school holidays like spring break take the problem to a new level. During spring break undercover agents with the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco work non stop around the clock to combat underage drinking.

Less than two hours into the night we witnessed enough to scare any teen away from the bottle.

Lieutenant Tony Cornman says these agents arrest around 150 underage drinkers a night

"During spring break it's a problem because we have a few hundred thousand here," said Lt. Cornman, Division of Alcohol and Tobacco.

They arrested lots more that night. Making a bad decision and leaving these teens with hefty consequences.

Stay tuned Sunday night at five--you'll get to check out what happened to these teens when they got caught.

TDC--please go with a PCB offficer, or an ABT officer and see the results of Spring break--beer, booze, anything else the kids can get. Help deal with the survivors, and the families that are left to mourn
