Not getting into anyone's cars, being wary of one's surroundings, etc. are just common sense that EVERYONE should know.
But not everyone one knows, according to the statistics............

I do not say that alcohol works differently in women.....the RESEARCH points that out due to their body components, weight, etc. And yes, once women become intoxicated and lose control, they will fall prey to whomever wishes to do them harm.........which if you watch, Nancy Grace, Jane Velez- Mitchell, of Headline News, and Greta Van Susteren, 48 hours, 20/20, True TV, and many others, there is a tremendous amount of violence directed toward women, today, that was not as much present several years ago. And do not tell me that it was because the media was not reporting on it, they were, but it is much prevalent today. I am so very glad these programs are trying to enlightened women that they must be more responsible toward their safety. Too many of them, are too trust worthy.

I think each person should take responsibility for their own safety and drink responsibly. Period.


I also think you watch too much TV. A man killing a woman can be sensationalized much easier than a man killing a man.
