Something many individuals are familiar with are the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, and also with what each has in store for us either generally or personally. We might forget a few special occasions from time to time that occur within them, but one thing that we do not forget is that of holidays and the time that we are able to “sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.” However, when it comes down to the fun in your holidays, especially that of consuming alcohol how much fun can you really have before it has gone too far?
Spring break is a holiday that many students, and parents are very familiar with. It is a time right before the end of school to motivate students to push hard, and diligently till the end in order to finish strong with their grades and work. Spring break is supposed to be positive and encouraging in a sense of relaxation and revitalization. Yet, it is encouraging many other things than that.
While on spring break many students are encouraged to participate in underage drinking, which turns into underage individuals consuming alcohol at a dangerously high level. In 2010, a study was done that showed that the majority of students that participated in underage drinking and consumption during that spring break either binge drank and become ill from it, or had severe illnesses from alcohol and had to seek hospitalization for fluids.
More and more instances also show that students on spring break are more likely to show reckless behavior, which includes that of driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs. Yet, students do not seem to grasp that fun is good in moderation, and when it goes past the limits it can impact your present and future. When you gain a DUI charge, and later a conviction, you can easily be kicked out of an educational institution, experience employment loss, and future unemployment.
