In this interview for the 4x4 Reports website, DJ Judge Jules talks to Rajesh Mirchandani in Ibiza about the island's drug and alcohol problems.
The BBC Radio 1 celebrity has been working in the sunshine club scene for the past 12 years.
He blames its excesses on the cheap cost of alcohol, irresponsible tour companies and the "anything goes" attitude of Britons abroad.
"If you are mixing alcohol with drugs you're being dehydrated. You bring the sun into it and the fact that people are treating their daily 'getting wasted' as lunchtime through to 5 or 6 in the morning and it's a wholly different and dangerous equation."
"People from Northern Europe live in an environment where it's crap weather all the time, you rarely see a glint of sunshine and there's no outdoor barbecue culture. If you go to countries where it's perennially hot like Australia people are generally more sensible."
"One must educate people. There's no point in me as a spokesperson saying 'Don't take too many Es' because people will. Keep it at experimentation. I'm not going to try to preach an unrealistic message."
"The tour companies are often getting money back from the pubs and bars they're taking the clientele out to. It's that sort of level of intoxication that I think makes people go out and take more drugs because their defences are reduced."
4x4 Reports: Dark side of the sun was broadcast on BBC One at 1930 BST on Monday 5 August and streamed live on this website.
