What to do if You are Victimized Alcohol and Sexual Assault Alcohol is the most frequently used date rape drug.
Alcohol often plays a significant role in sexual assaults.
Alcohol impairs inhibitions, judgment and decision-making. Mixing alcohol and sex puts you at risk for sexual assault, sexually transmitted diseases, or simply being in an embarrassing and awkward situation in the morning. Alcohol use by women makes them more vulnerable to sexual assault. While men, when drinking, are also at increased risk of being sexually victimized, they are also more likely to engage in coercive sexual behaviors - including sexual assault. One in twelve college males admit to having committed acts that met the legal definition of rape.
