On May 5 The Raleigh News & Observer reported a Duke undergad woman told police she met a man:
"at the party (after) drinking since the afternoon and that, although she was not used to taking drugs, she got a strong dose of the marijuana smoke."According to The N&O, when the woman awoke the next morning, "she felt like something had happened."
Blogger and mother of two daughters, Betsy Newmark, subsequently posted some advice:
Ladies, don't get stinking drunk, inhale marijuana, hang out in a guy's room, and then spend the next day wondering if some guy did something to you.That's such good advice I included it in a post and linked to Betsy's.
Now from Anonymous Commenter comes some more good advice:
Here's some advice to young men: Drunk college women are rattlesnake dangerous. You have no defense. If you see one, call the police.Right on, Anon.
And here's more advice from JinC: Young women and young men should stay sober, avoid drunks of either gender and call the police to take care of drunks of either gender, something the police are trained to do.
Come to think of it, we should all stay sober and avoid drunks as much as possible.

What????? John, do you really want me to have a solitary life? What did I ever do to you?
Quit telling people to avoid me.
straightarrow and fish,
I like people who poke fun at themselves.
Since you're both Churchill admirers, I offer the following anecdote on the chance you don't already know it.
During May and June 1940, Churchill made a number of trips to France in an effort to keep her in the war. He was always accompanied by Cabinet colleagues and aides.
On the return from one such trip, Churchill and his party crossed the channel on a Royal Navy destroyer.
In mid-channel, debris from sunken ships floated past the destroyer. Churchill and some of his party went to the rail to have a look.
Within minutes they all saw a large door float by. Emblazoned in its center were the initials: WC.
All were silent until Churchill turned to the others and asked, "Do any of you think Hitler knew I would be here?"
Best,
John
Do you think the WC stood for water closet? Mr. Churchill really did have a fine sense of humor, didn't, he? WC, indeed.
And just like the door the other WC was unsinkable too. In fact, he was a veritable life raft.
How could you forget this one....
Lady Astor: "Mr. Churchill, you're drunk!"
Winston Churchill: "Yes, and you, Madam, are ugly. But tomorrow, I shall be sober."
