Spring Break Culture
Panama City Beach, Florida
Panama City Beach, Florida is notorious for its crazy, spring break party atmosphere.
Throughout my stay in PCB I attempted to capture the spring break culture which is unique to a college party destination.
In this photo essay, you may notice both the positive and negative outcomes of alcohol consumption and excessive partying.
20 friends, seven days, and one beach house in Panama
City Beach.
All of the alcohol that was
purchased between 20
college students, in preparation for
spring break in PCB.
Preparing “greenies,” an alcoholic drink that
originated in Minneapolis, MN.
College students ‘shot-gunning’ beers the first morning of the spring break trip. Shot-gunning a beer means poking a hole in the can before opening it, in order to chug the beer more quickly.
A young man is shown throwing up after
shot-gunning a beer.
The warm weather and sandy beaches
of Florida are a refreshing change of scenery from
the snow and wind of Fargo, ND.
The young man to the right is pictured with the address of the beach house written
on his chest, in case he cannot remember it after
he has been drinking.
A heart to heart conversation is captured between these
three roommates.
Two friends are shown snuggling
the morning after a hard night of
partying.
A young man is covered with inappropriate
messages written in marker after passing
out early from drinking too much
Two friends enjoy drinking discounted
beer in a German bar. The bars in PCB had many deals for
spring breakers.
One of the friends was kicked out of the bar after attempting to dance on a table.
Two friends play beer pong on the beach using a
homemade beer pong table constructed from
sand.
Keystone light is a popular beer amongst college students. This is mostly due to the low purchase price.
A young man is shown relieving himself in the women’s restroom as a young lady snaps a
photo.
The results of an alcohol-
induced fight between two members of the beach house. The
fight resulted in one
member being sent to the hospital. The fight was a direct result of excessive
alcohol consumption.
A sheriff patrols the beach during spring
break in order to ensure spring breakers are
being safe.
The sheriff took pictures with some of the college students.
The local sheriff, Officer Ray, learning to play beer pong on the sand beer pong table.
Located a few miles down the beach was
the main spring break party scene. There
were people as far as you could see.
Driving home on the 25 hour car ride while wearing a hat labeled “wasted.” This goes to
show that the ‘anything goes’
attitude of spring break does not transfer
well into the real world.
