Beer and Loathing In Panama City: A Bloodthirsty Spring Break Exodus

Keith Strausbaugh, 23, is an ex-valedictorian with a penchant for heavy drinking, an overeducated bar fly who can binge with the best of 'em. In a style that can only be described as half stream-of-consciousness and half drunken rant, Strausbaugh chronicles his collegiate spring break and the ensuing sex, violence, and razorblade debauchery…as well as the run-ins with police officers, Christians, military recruiters, musicians, celebrities, bikers, illegal immigrants, cheerleaders, and homeless drifters. It's a testament to drunken thrills and loud, obnoxious laughter in a city unaccustomed to morality or maturity. When he's not running for City Council or starting pyramid schemes, Strausbaugh teaches freshman composition at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

1Great Reviews must be from students  Aug 20, 2009
DO NOT BUY UNLESS REALLY INTO PC LORE. Not worth the time or money.

4Fascinating, funny and sarcastic!  May 05, 2009
In Strausbaugh's "Beer and Loathing," a small crew of students venture into a road journey from Virginia Tech to Panama City. A vivid description of the trip with funny incidents makes the reader become a witness where the young students crave for the excitement of debauchery. Strausbaugh uses a narrative full of sarcasm to describe the places and people they see throughout their journey. He successfully portrays the most common "needs" that spring breakers search in an intense, hilarious and sometimes crude narrative. If you love reality shows, such as MTV's "Real World" and "Steve-O: Demise and Rise," this book is surely a must for you. "Beer and Loathing" might seem like one of those episodes without the uncensored or uncut scenes, but the only difference is that the protagonist finds part of the answer of life at the end of this journey.

5Springtime Must  May 04, 2009
Keith Strausbaugh captures the complete college spring break experience in his true story Beer and Loathing in Panama City. Keith, along with seven acquaintances, embark on a bizarre journey to the Florida haven where they push the limits of human existence. Throughout the book, Keith and his new friends discover their abilities to deal with conflict as it comes, and not once let it impede in the drunk fest that is spring break.I will read this book to my children as a bedtime story.


4A Good Time Indeed  May 04, 2009
Beer and Loathing in Panama City is a book about a group of students heading down to Panama City for their spring break. What ensues is hilarity and drinking pushed to the limits. It tells of a spring break that every college student dreams and hopes for. Many events that happen in the story are ones that every college student can relate too. This book is filled with good laughs and good times as well as some wise thoughts about life. It's one book that you will not be able to put down! I highly recommend this book because even the casual reader will enjoy this book. Overall, it's just a very enjoyable book.

2Hilarious  May 03, 2009
Beer and Loathing in Panama City is a hilarious narrative, especially if it's read while under the influence. Strausbaugh gives a vivid description about his college Spring Break trip to Panama City, Florida with seven of his guy friends. While in P.C. the guys drink until they drop all day everyday, they terrorize their hotel room, try to get laid, become friends with a homeless man named Earl, get punk by undercover Christians, and experience many more funny encounters. This was a very interesting Spring Break, and these guys knew how to enjoy every minute of it.
