control your own. If you voluntarily incapacitate yourself, you have given up control over the situation--and handed it over to people you may not be able to trust. Young men who stumble around drunk also can be easy marks for assaults and muggings. Why do that to yourself, no matter the gender? Stop before you are shitfaced, for Christ's sake, because there are opportunists, sociopaths, and predators everywhere.
