Risky behavior common among young women during spring break, according to an AMA survey. About 30 percent of women surveyed said spring break trips with sun and alcohol are an essential part of college life.
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.
Of the 27 percent who said they had attended a college spring break trip:
More than half said they regretted getting sick from drinking on the trip.
About 40 percent said they regretted passing out or not remembering what they did.
13 percent said they had sexual activity with more than one partner.
10 percent said they regretted engaging in public or group sexual activity.
More than half were underage when they first drank alcohol on a spring break trip.
The AMA said the findings highlight the need for alternative spring break activities. For example, the University of Nebraska, Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., and the University of Wisconsin offer spring break “service” trips.
Gemma Kite, a 21-year-old Lehigh junior, is in Brunswick, Ga., for spring break this week, helping build a house for Habitat for Humanity.
“It’s so much fun. We’re working outside in the sun,” Kite said.
She said many students see spring break as “your chance to go wild and crazy in a different country where no one’s going to know you.” Kite admitted those trips have a certain appeal, and she hopes to take a more party-oriented vacation next year.
