We wish to share just a few facts about Spring Break. 43% of College Students Binge Drink, Possession of a Fake ID is a Felony, 90% of College Sexual Assaults are Alcohol Related, and Alcohol is involved in estimated 38% of drowning deaths. “Don’t make a mistake, think before you drink this Spring Break” On behalf of the UCF Police Department, the Orange County Coalition for a Drug Free Community, and the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco, please be safe and responsible. http://www.police.ucf.edu

my reply: I didn’t know that about the drowning thing, kinda interesting. Even more interesting would be what percentage of those people drowned in water, alcohol, vomit, etc.

Now those would be some interesting numbers.

And just FYI - those facts have nothing to do with spring break. Quote: “Possession of a fake ID is a felony.” I see no obvious correlation.

Why not “We wish to share a few facts about the dangers of drinking and remind you of Florida law.”

Spring break facts would be more like: 90% of College Students get drunk and think they are funny (88%), can sing (67%), can dance (79%), are much better looking than they actually are, especially with their zipper open and their boxers hanging out (65%). 62% will expect much more fun that actually have. Lastly, 12% will have already left for the break and will not be checking their email until after they get back from binge drinking themselves to death in a puddle of their own vomit.

So although your numbers may be more factual. Mine have much more to do with the topic claimed to be at hand, spring break.

Regards, and wishing you the best this spring break, Kyle Fiducia

strangely they never answered.
