[quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of reasons people, and especially women, shouldn't drink to such excess; blacking out and passing out in public, next to a dumpster, is extremely disturbing on so many levels.

Yes, you do increase the odds you will be the victim of crime or accident when you, a man or woman, pass out in public, but passing out face down next to a dumpster is on an entirely different level.

I worked in campus security while in college, and far too often, and know from incident reports that students ended up dead as a result of too much drinking.

After a hard night of partying, the student, often a female, goes home, passes out, and never wakes up.

The university doesn't publicize it; at least they didn't when I was a student, but it happened more than once during my short time working as a safety ambassador.

One of the least desirable locations to patrol was Fraternity/Sorority Row way too much alcohol and way too much criminal behavior.

As part of working the row, we had to also patrol the train tracks that ran past the Row. And at least once a night on the weekend 1 or 2 students would lay down in the track bed and pass out, hot, freezing, cold, snow it didn't matter.

They'd just lay down and take a nap. And their friends also probably drunk would just leave them there. Young adult brains aren't exactly fully developed, so something you'd never do, they do because well it makes for a good story.

When that happened, we'd roll them off the tracks, freight trains don't run on a schedule, so they'd come through at all hours, and then call campus police.

I also comforted a friend one night who'd been in a Frat house, had too much to drink, passed out, and came too as a guy was raping her in his room, she didn't want to call the police, so called a campus hotline first, and was told there wasn't much to be done, she was told classic case of "he said she said." I was really upset for her. And shocked by how casually the incident was pushed off.

But what blew my mind was that the very next night, she called me from another Frat house, drunk, and near to passing out again, and asked me to come and get her.

Of course, I did, but I also yelled at her because I was so angry that she'd do the very same thing the very next night. I let her know that her behavior was out of control, and frankly bizarre and not the actions of a mentally stable person, at that point, and that she needed to get help. I threatened to call her mother if she didn't. She didn't need hand-holding at that point she needed to get help for being an alcoholic.  [/quote]
