Not to be the pebble in the flip-flop, but the study features a wealth of spring break trivia and cautionary advice.
For example, the website explains the impetus behind the debauchery that descends upon picturesque places this time of year: "A college swim coach was looking for a warm place to help his team stay in shape for their upcoming season, and thus, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, became the first official destination for spring breakers in the U.S."
Keep in mind, that took place back in the 1930s. Fast forward nearly a century, and spring break is a collegiate rite of passage.
As for the sage wisdom, ProjectKnow wants you to party responsibly: "The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism indicates that more than half of all male college students and a third of females will binge drink at some point during their college career and more than 1,800 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related unintentional injuries."
Close the shutters before all those frat boys and sorority girls arrive.
