BIKINIS, beer and beaches — what could possibly go wrong?
Millions of students have just descended on beaches in the southern United States for Spring Break, a notorious week of sun-soaked debauchery.
There was always going to be sex, drugs and violence — but this year’s crew have gone above and beyond, making our schoolies look like sweet little lambs.
First, there was the girl who climbed onto the roof of a car as it sped along a busy freeway in Miami, for the sole purpose of twerking in a tiny bikini.
Other drivers couldn’t believe their eyes when she let go, and started holding her hands above her head as she performed the dance move in a split.

Then there were the young men who sparked outrage online, after they were filmed using a washed-up shark’s mouth to pierce a can of beer.
The video shows a shirtless guy hitting his tinny against the animal’s teeth while his mate forces its jaws open, then guzzling it as liquid pours out the side.

Aside from outrageous stunts, beer bongs were flowing as revellers doused themselves in alcohol at the buzzing beach parties.
Some drink body shots out of the belly buttons of scantily clad women, while others pass out from the partying and sleep on the beach.
Priests hand out condoms freely during the sex-fuelled event, which unsurprisingly features a large amount of shameless nudity.
Spring Break has been an annual event for mostly college students for years and debauchery is the order of the day. As these photos from years past show, outrageous behaviour is nothing new for spring breakers.
The drunken week of partying is nothing new for Americans.
Spring break started in the 1930s, when colleges would take their swimming teams to competitions in Florida. The first wet T-shirt contest was launched in the seventies in 1975, when winners were awarded $75 in prize money.
As word spread over the years, more and more college students began to head to hot spots in Florida including Fort Lauderdale, Daytona Beach and Miami. Other partygoers head to places such as South Padre Island in Texas.
By 1985 around 370,000 students flocked for sun-kissed fun and in 1986, MTV started to broadcast Spring Break specials.
It’s mostly a fun event, but every year there are reports of violence and sexual assaults. More than 400 people were arrested at Daytona Beach alone in 2017.
