I'm not saying if you get totally smashed you getting raped is your fault. However going out and getting blackout drunk does put yourself at risk. And not drinking to excess does minimize risk if you're aware of what's going on around you. That being said rape is no one's fault but the rapist. But let's stop pretending that telling people to drink responsibly is this awful thing.
I've always heard nothing but good things coming from the advice of drinking responsibility, aka, PSA ads. Isn't that the entire point of those things? To advocate for being responsible if you drink.
