I hope they are able to come back strong in 2011.

I hate when newspapers say that medical attention was "needed." Sure, out of concern for safety, medical attention was sought. That doesn't necessarily mean that these girls wouldn't have been fine the next day (except for a nasty hangover).
It's my worry that releasing these sorts of details and making it seem to be a factor that medical attention was sought and utilized results in many cases of individuals refusing to take someone to the emergency room where medical attention is crucial because they're afraid of the consequences of seeking medical attention.
These sorts of details need to stay between the kid getting medical attention and the facility where they receive it.
I don't know whether this was a big factor here or even a factor at all. I'm just saying that --in general--, this sort of wording troubles me.
