Now, don’t get me wrong; it’s important to identify risky behaviours, but aren’t there some things we already know?

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine "recently announced ":http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080904215613.htm the shocking insight that women who binge drink are more likely to engage in unsafe sex. One researcher went so far as to say that the results of the study were "not surprising," adding: "Binge drinking results in a decreased ability to make clear decisions and can enable individuals to engage in behaviours that they would not if sober."

Well, I guess you learn something new every day… Now, where’s my liquor?
