The Dark Side of Drinking Games
Drinking games don't just affect you while you're playing, researchers studying drinking games found that participants in such games report increased levels of drinking and drinking-related problems compared to non-players. Alcohol prevention experts say the games do sometimes lead to alcohol poisoning and drunken-driving incidents, and may increase the chance of a woman being sexually assaulted.
In fact, 44% of men who played said that they did so to sexually manipulate other players. 20% said they had done things after playing a drinking game that could be defined as sexual assault. It's especially important to remember that someone cannot give consent while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and that everyone needs to do their part in taking care of their friends to keep them safe.
