[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's really important to teach young women alcohol safety.  I know so many who were raped or assaulted after drinking at a college party.  It was devastating and affected them well into the future.

I think it's really important to teach young men alcohol safety. I know of so many who raped or assaulted people after drinking at a college party. It was devastating and affected them well into the future.[/quote]I don't think this has as much to do with alcohol.  Guys shouldn't be creeps sober or drunk.  A good guy doesn't turn into a creep with a couple of drinks.  Guys who take advantage of or harm women are generally creeps all of the time.  Drinking just gives them an excuse to act on their impulses while lessening the fear of being caught.

The most important alcohol safety to teach young men in this vein is consent.  [b]She has to affirmatively say yes and be sober enough to mean it.[/b]  [/quote]

I agree, but you also have to sober enough to be able to assess your potential partner's sobriety and consent. [/quote]
