AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A band of drunk Dutch students taking a break from exams had to be rescued at sea after a raft they built from empty jerrycans went adrift on the North Sea, the Hague police said Friday."The students had made a kind of floating island and ventured out to sea under the influence of alcohol. They were carried into the open sea by the current and had to be rescued," a police statement said.
The group of 15 to 20 students was let off with little more than a stern warning from police who accused them of "irresponsible behavior."
