Degenerates In Panama City, Florida.

EXCLUSIVE: 'We're getting drunk!' Spring Break students defy drinking ban to twerk, flash, fight and fall over... and if you think this is bad, wait for this weekend - when the party REALLY begins

  • Spring Break partying has already begun - with police reporting arrests for drinking on the beach, underage drinking, public intoxication and 'disorderly conduct'
  • Over the course of four days in Panama City Beach, DailyMail.com saw college kids get so drunk they needed medical attention, flash their breasts in public and appear to have sex in a nightclub
  • Spring break gets fully under way on Friday and Saturday, with 2.5 million expected to flock to the beaches - up from 1.3 million the previous weekend - even though many beaches have banned drinking
  • Of those, tens of thousands head to Panama City Beach, as well as other Florida resorts such as Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale, and Texas hotspot South Padre Island
  • For Panama City Beach, the annual influx means a $40 million payday - but there is concern some students are using college loans to fund their fun
Slumped over drunk on the beach, necking beer on hotel balconies and performing lewd dances in front of baying crowds, these are the Spring Break shenanigans that students don't want their parents to see.
Over the course of four days in Panama City Beach, DailyMail.com saw college kids get so drunk they needed medical attention, flash their breasts in public and, in one incident, appear to have sex pressed against the barriers in a nightclub.
More still were seen getting drunk day and night, with some downing beer through funnels and others doing shots in the pool to chants of 'drink, drink, drink, drink!' - all despite the city banning drinking on the beach.
This week, 1.3 million students, most aged between 18 and 21, head out on vacation, with a further 2.5 million set to follow on Friday.

Of those, tens of thousands head to Panama City Beach, as well as other Florida resorts such as Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale, and Texas hotspot South Padre Island.
For Panama City Beach, the annual influx means a $40m payday – approximately $2m of which is funneled into city coffers via a statutory bed tax. 
Bars and restaurants across town benefit greatly from the Spring Break shenanigans, including Dirty Dicks Crab House, whose slogan is 'where diners come to get crabs'.
Across the country, the student dollar equates to a $1bn boom for tour operators, bar owners and club promoters, according figures prepared by University of New Orleans economist John Laurie.
But not everyone is delighted to see the students, including the local police department which is charged with enforcing rules introduced in 2015 banning drinking on the beach following a spate of rapes – 42 between 2007 and 2014.

As a result, the 2016 season saw a drop in crime with police figures showing a total of 20 gun-related offences and 256 drug arrests, compared to 93 gun busts and 507 drug arrests the previous year.
In total, 1,222 people were arrested during 2016 Spring Break, compared to 2,423 in 2015.
Figures for this year are not yet available, although a total of 18 arrests were made in Panama City Beach over the weekend of February 3-5 – the majority for underage drinking and disorderly conduct.

STUDENTS USE COLLEGE LOANS FOR SPRING BREAK

A growing number of students, it seems, will use their student loans to fund their upcoming fun-in-the-sun spring breaks, reported the New York Post.
About 30 percent of American students will tap into their college debt to pay for their wild week-long holidays. 
While using student loan cash for booze, beer pong and sunblock is not illegal, few experts find it wise.
'Students should minimize their borrowing during their college years and live a sparse lifestyle — but no one wants to hear that when their fraternity brothers or sorority sisters are packing up to Cabo for the week,' said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst of Bankrate.com.
'It's like putting spring break on a credit card, but this one is subsidized by taxpayers,' McBride added.
The average college student graduates with $28,000 in loans. The default rate on those loans is 11.8 percent, according to LendEDU.
The company conducted a survey of 500 college students who have an outstanding student loan and who said that they were planning a spring-break getaway.
The 30 percent response rate translates into 2.83 million students traveling to warmer climates on their loans.
In Daytona Beach, which hosts between 5,000 and 10,000 students each weekend in March, 106 arrests were made last weekend, while police in Fort Lauderdale - the fourth most popular destination of 2017 according to a survey of travel businesses - logged 137 crimes, albeit not all committed by Spring Breakers.
Among the those on the wrong side of the law in Panama City Beach was Adam, 20, a student from Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee, who was hauled off by cops for drinking on the beach according to his friends.
Gabriel, 21, and friends Mike and Brett, both 20, said their roommate had found himself being taken away by police after being caught drunk on the beach at noon.
'It was crazy,' the trio told DailyMail.com. 'He was just having a few drinks on the beach and the cops showed up and took him away.'
But not everyone is delighted to see the students, including the local police department who arrested a number of party-goers for underage drinking, drinking on the beach, public intoxication and disorderly conduct

Mike, who was dressed in a Stars and Stripes bandana and matching swim shorts, added: 'They're going to fine him $250 and bring him back when he's sobered up.
'It's crazy how harsh the cops are – we're just having fun but they're everywhere'.
Paul Miller, 21, of the University of West Virginia, told DailyMail.com that he and his friends had come to party but complained of the police efforts to control the beach.
'This [Panama City Beach] is the top Spring Break place and it's great for parties,' he said. 'But we should 100 per cent be able to have a beer and enjoy the beach without the cops stopping you.'
The first wave of Spring Break parties saw a spike in drinking offences, among them public intoxication and disorderly conduct.
By Monday afternoon, a further seven arrests had been made – most for breaking the beach booze ban and public intoxication.
One local cop, who asked not to be named, told DailyMail.com: 'We've arrested two already this morning. Each time, it has been for being intoxicated on the beach.
'We take them to the Bay County Jail up the road and leave them there until they sober up.'
Local Police Chief Drew Whitman added: 'Most of the Spring Break arrests are for drinking on the sandy portion of the beach, underage drinking and disorderly conduct.

'Those who are arrested can get fines of up to $500 and have to get a taxi back after we release them from jail. Or their friends can pick them up.'
Other southern party towns such as Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale also saw arrests for drunkenness, underage drinking, loitering and fighting.
Daytona Beach Police Chief Craig Capri said: 'Come here, have a good time and obey the law. But if you want to come here, get drunk and fight, you will be going to jail.'
And in South Padre Island, Texas, local law enforcement said emergency calls are 'going up each day' with Police Chief Randy Smith predicting 'the busiest week of the year' when revelers from the hard-partying University of Texas descend on Friday.
But despite the risk of arrest, students in Panama City Beach told DailyMail.com they plan to party on regardless – and could be seen hauling bottles of booze into their rooms and playing a game of cat and mouse with cops determined to keep a lid on the shenanigans.

Meanwhile, in neighboring Club La Vela, girls could be seen stripping off onstage and twerking lasciviously for prizes ranging from t-shirts to bar tabs in full view of the crowd.
Further down the beach, at the $142-a-night Holiday Inn, groups of students could be seen clustered on balconies challenging each other to drinking games.

Some were seen passing plastic bags of booze between rooms, while others could be seen doing beer funnels – the aim being to drink as much as possible in the shortest time.

Saturday night saw revelers crowd into the club for the annual welcome party, while on Sunday, the theme was pools, with free entry for girls in bikinis.
But it was on Monday night that the club really got going, courtesy of a 'wet n' wild foam party' that saw girls climb on stage and twerk in front of a baying crowd.
Others opted for alternatives such as Hammerhead Fred's, a neon-lit bar next door to a small theme park boasting rides such as the Vomatron sling-shot, and local strip club Show-n-Tail.

Most appeared to be having a boozy good time, although it all proved too much for one reveler who was discovered by DailyMail.com drunkenly slumped over a table in Pizza Hut opposite La Vela.
Another was seen on Monday night falling over and struggling to get back up because he was so intoxicated.
Students appeared proud of their antics, with one group of girls found relaxing on the beach on telling DailyMail.com that they had been thrown out of La Vela two nights in a row for behaving too rowdily.
Mia Rife and Dana West, both 18 and from the University of South Carolina, admitted to being ejected from the club.
'A lot of people from our school come here [to Panama City Beach] and we had heard it was fun so that's why we're here,' said Mia.
'It has been good so far but calmer than we expected.' Dana added: 'Our plan for the week is to go to the beach every day and hit the clubs every night.'
According to the local tourist board, last weekend's shenanigans were just the start of the Spring Break influx, with thousands more expected over the next two weeks.
Daytona Beach, meanwhile, is expecting between 5,000 and 10,000 student vacationers next weekend alone, according to Chief Capri.

The biggest numbers, however, are expected in South Padre Island, which will host a giant concert featuring rapper Lil' Wayne next Monday and a colossal Beach Bash the following day.
Unsurprisingly, the local police chief is preparing for action. 'Next week will be our busiest but calls are going up every day,' said Randy Smith.
He continued: 'We plan well ahead but you never know when criminal activity will occur. Most of the trouble is things like public intoxication, simple assaults and disorderly conduct [fighting].
'We want everyone to have fun while in South Padre Island but safely.'
Chief Whitman, of Panama City Beach, added: 'Use good common sense and remember – if it's against the law where you come from, it probably is here too.'
A message that many of the students in his town for Spring Break appear all too happy to ignore.
