Borrachera is drunkenness, binge, bender, not the people themselves (revelers- a very old-fashioned term where I'm from, the US). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2017-05-01 20:57:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I researched all three of Simon's terms and found meaningful, scholarly references to each. However, I never found more than approx. 100 results for each one, nor for my own translation as well. There does not seem to be one conclusive term, neither in journalism, the tourism industry, or academia. Alcohol (or [recreational] drug) tourism can refer to people who cross country or state lines because laws are laxer in the destination country (i.e., either certain substances can be obtained in the destination country but not in one's home country, the minimum legal drinking/smoking age is lower in the destination country, illicit drugs can be obtained more easily, etc.). I think that binge tourism makes clear that it's not about taking a trip to obtain what you couldn't get back home. It's about going wild in an environment where this is promoted, and where the social consequences are few to nil. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2017-05-01 20:58:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- *I researched all three of Simon's terms and found meaningful, scholarly references to each.
