In an effort to avoid a complete thread hi-jack, I am starting another one here -

"Prevalence of Rape Higher in Heavy Drinking College Environments"

College women at schools with medium- and high-binge drinking rates had a significantly greater chance of being raped while intoxicated, study found

BOSTON (February 12, 2004)-- Rape is more common on college campuses with higher rates of binge drinking – and alcohol use is a central factor in most college rapes, finds a new study released today.

Overall, one in 20 (4.7 percent) women reported being raped in college since the beginning of the school year – a period of approximately 7 months – and nearly three-quarters of those rapes (72 percent) happened when the victims were so intoxicated they were unable to consent or refuse. These were among the findings of a study of 119 schools nationwide, by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study, Saint Joseph’s University and the University of Arizona, published in the January 2004 issue of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol.

Most significantly, women from colleges with medium and high binge-drinking rates had more than a 1.5-fold increased chance of being raped while intoxicated than those from schools with low binge- drinking rates. Other significant risk factors for rape were being under 21 years old, white, residing in sorority houses, using illicit drugs and binge drinking in high school. "

You are most welcome, Ms. Jo.

We also had an episode of date rape drugs in the downtown bars a few years ago.
I am usually the designated driver and prefer to have alcohol at home or in a restaurant with food.
And I keep my soda or mineral water nearby when hanging out with friends at bars or clubs.

I agree, I tend to scold my friends when they go off to the dance floor or ladies room and leave their drinks unattended.

They needed a "study" to figure THAT out?
I hope no Taxpayer dollars were involved.
