> Yes, rape culture is real. Yes, drunk people are more dangerous, on average, than sober people.
> No, this does not mean you should start skipping events where people are drinking because some of them might hurt you.
This isn't really your judgement call to make on behalf of somebody else, is it?
I'm a fairly big guy with some martial arts training, so when it comes to being around a bunch of people who are inebriated, I assess the level of risk to me as being pretty low. If I were a woman, and someone who's less physically imposing than almost everyone at the party, my assessed level of risk would doubtless be higher. Too, if I've been raped or subjected to other sexual violence previously -- as a significant number of women have -- I can't imagine my risk tolerance being very high at all.
