If a man wants to take advantage of a women by victimizing her sexually, getting her loaded both facilitates the process and provides deniability. If she is really inebriated she may not remember enough details to press charges, or even that she was in fact victimized. I'm pretty sure that every guy over sixteen is aware of this, but sometimes I wonder about young women. When they are out on the town partying, they should assume that every single guy they are sharing drinks and vape hits with is trying to get into their pants. Unless they are French kissing another fellow, every single one of them. How far any one of them will go to achieve their goal is anyone's guess, particularly if they are a stranger.

When I was in the service we always went on furlough as a group, and one of us stayed sober. That was the SOP for big, scary looking young guys because anyone can become a victim.
