All but confirming what goes on in those "Girls Gone Wild" videos, 83 percent of college women and graduates surveyed by the AMA said spring break involves heavier-than-usual drinking, and 74 percent said the break results in increased sexual activity.

Ah, yes, but which came first, the chicken or the egg?

[ClearCase_guy]

More than half said they regretted getting sick from drinking on the trip.

Fascinating sentence. It says so much.

[2banana]

10 percent said they regretted engaging in public or group sexual activity.

Or in other words - that is a 90% approval rating!

Spring Break 2006 is underway here in Panama City Beach. Ever since the "Girls Gone Wild" videos came out the students coming here seem to think they have to emulate the behavior they saw or heard about on the videos.

Although most locals don't like it, a good many of them go to the beach to watch....and, of course they take their camcorders. If you have a lot of beads or a camcorder, you get your own private flash.

Here's a surprise! The newspapers usually wait until AFTER Spring Break ends before they publish these articles.

I was talking to a doctor at a university once and remembered it was spring break season. I asked whether there was an increase in students with STDs in the weeks following.

He answered that he and his staff basically handled the "three S's": sports (physicals and injuries), shots (required for admission), and sex.

Every year, he said there was an uptick in STDs after spring break. And often times it's diseases that a round of antibiotics won't fix.

I have reservations about just about everything the AMA does or says, since they adapted a political and socially manipulative posture.

"AMA said spring break involves heavier-than-usual drinking, and 74 percent said the break results in increased sexual activity" These guys (AMA) are:

spring break involves heavier-than-usual drinking

Phew, glad we got THAT established. I've been wondering about it since my college years.

In other news, 83 percent of females heading down to Spring Break for some debauched revelry said that, yes, they would like to be the next Natalee Holloway.

[End Times Sentinel]

Sizable numbers reported getting sick from drinking, and blacking out and engaging in unprotected sex or sex with more than one partner

Can you believe someone funded a survey like this?  What a total waste.  I mean, if you're not going to ask the question that's on all America's lips "Is there an increased likelihood of you having unprotected sex with a married, middleaged, chunky guy?" what's the point?

Also, 74 percent said women use spring break drinking as an excuse for "outrageous" behavior that the AMA said could include public nudity and dancing on tables.

*gasp!* Dancing on tables???!!! Oh, the horror! The depravity! It's clear that dancing on tables is where it starts, and public nudity is a direct result. Tables must be regulated...yeah, that's the solution. Regulate access to tables, and the rest of the problem takes care of itself....

Those AMA guys are such nuts!
