a lot of truth there.

Sloppy drunk men can be some of the most aggressive and are often difficult to 'shake'. Sometimes if they're with a group of guys the other guys will step in and get control of them. While it doesn't happen all the time it is happening more and more. It seems the more men are learning about things like this the more they are becoming aware and stepping in. Awareness is the key.

Men need to think about how they would feel if it was their mother, daughter, sister, etc. I think that puts in a different light for them.
