Binge drinking big problem for students on Spring Break

KHOU.com
Thousands of college students have converged on Cancun for Spring Break. While drug violence may pose a risk in some regions of Mexico – the big problem for students at the beach is “being too drunk,” said Chris Palumbo, a student spending Spring Break in Cancun with friends. Palumbo, 21, was one of the few students not holding a can of beer or plastic cup full of alcohol. For most students in Mexico for Spring Break the biggest threat is excessive drinking, not the drug gangs who have grabbed headlines in some regions.
