Yep. Unfortunately, I am beginning to see a pattern where lots of drinking in quasi work/social situations is a danger zone. Not so much in tight nit groups, like a lab gathering, but more so at conferences, etc.

Hmmm. Calling it a 'danger zone' suggests that the predatory individuals are not at fault. Weirdly, the vast majority of men *and women* manage to navigate the 'dangers' of socialising without assaulting anyone!

I agree. Boozing it up just aggravates the problem, though, and enables predatory behaviour. It is all of our responsibility to call out this behaviour and intervene if possible.
