Marc Giauque reportingA pre-spring break warning from the American Medical Association, specifically directed at women.
At the cafeteria in the University of Utah student union building, students say they're looking forward to next weeks break.
The AMA says three quarters of college women see much heaver than usual drinking. Three quarters involved in increased sexual activity.
Student: "It's a break, and it's a long break. So, there's no reason not to drink."
But, the AMA says especially women often return with regrets. More than 40 percent pass out at some point and do not remembering what they did.
This student says he's seen men use that as an opportunity to take advantage.
Student: "I have seen that happen. Definitely, that does happen with girls that have too much to drink."
But, these students say it's what spring break is about a chance to go wild, while they can.
