Most of the staggering will occur at the beach parties, concerts, and more beach parties. We showcased how busy many of the law enforcement agencies will be during the next few weeks. Other agencies will eclipse the number of calls received by the police. Local Fire Departments and EMS services will be receiving a number of emergency calls for alcohol poisoning. Many of the reported student deaths, during spring break, have been attributed to alcohol. DWIs and alcohol poisoning lead the way. Take a minute to recognize the signs of alcohol poisoning. Cut out this Sam Spady card and take it with you. Come back with a Spring Break story for your friends, not for your parents.
