So here\u2019s the issue: with respect to college drinking, how strong a motivator would, \u201cdon\u2019t drink; you might end up being raped\/having sex and regretting it\u201d be? Women, apparently, are worried about someone putting a date-rape drug in their drink because they would pretty clearly lose control of their actions. (Though I\u2019m not sure how often this happens, or if it\u2019s as rare as the poisoned Halloween candy everyone fears.) But is \u201cgetting so drunk you have sex with a creep or get raped while passed out\u201d not really a real worry? Look, I drank in college, but I never passed out. And when I left the party with a guy, it was to be walked home. We had none of this \u201cbuddy system\u201d \u2014 maybe because we were all, when it came down to it, nerds (not geeks \u2014 no one played D&D;), or maybe because the guys were all just fundamentally decent, but this sort of thing never happened in our group. But if you\u2019re a college girl hearing about girls being raped while passed out, or even just being taken advantage of by the sober guy who saw his chance, wouldn\u2019t you have the sense to say, \u201cI won\u2019t let that happen to me; I\u2019ll get buzzed but I\u2019ll stop before I get too sloppy drunk\u201d? Or are these girls genuinely alcoholics, who have such a drinking habit that they can\u2019t stop, even knowing the consequences?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
