Makih many people who engaged in binge alcohol, the greater the likelihood of sexual violence. Studies show women who had consumed alcohol 10 or more since starting college, 59% of whom are victims of sexual harassment at the end of the first semester.
The study was conducted by researchers from the University at Buffalo Research Institute on Addictions in the U.S.. The study, published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs is monitoring the 437 young women since high school graduation until the first year of college.
Generally, while still in high school, the girls are really avoiding alcohol. But his attitude changed 180 degrees when it began to enter college because of the many parties held liquor.
Nearly half of young women surveyed admitted to having a drink at the end of the first semester of college. Period drinking occurred at least once in the activity commonly referred to as binge drinking.
While the young woman who had known since high school binge drinking will continue the habit at the same rate when in college.
Young women surveyed admitted most committed binge drinking as much as five to six times.
Disturbingly, a quarter of whom claimed to have been victims of sexual abuse at the end of the semester. Experienced harassment ranging from unwanted sexual contact to rape.
"This suggests that prevention efforts should begin drinking before college," said lead investigator, Mary Testa, a senior scientist at the University at Buffalo Research Institute on Addictions as reported Health24.com, Friday (09/12/2011).
