  Women and drink 29 Sep 2005  
Are drunk women risking too much?

New research by the Portman Group - the advisory body set up by the drinks industry to promote responsible drinking -  reveals that a third of young women have been assaulted while drunk, over 30% had had unprotected sex after  drinking, and concluded that it was 'alarming'  that 'young women seem to be risking more than young men'.

Jenni and guests discuss whether it's time to acknowledge that when it comes to drinking women can't behave in the same way as men without very serious consequences.
