Content: However, when a person engages in heavy drinking, their interpreting and decision-making skills decline. Social cues are ignored or misread, and potentially causing conflict. Aggressive and violent behaviors are more likely to occur when rejection occurs if alcohol is involved. Additionally, impulsivity increases when inhibitions decrease. This can lead to a person seeming to be more outgoing, but can also be the reason a perpetrator feels comfortable touching another person or even committing sexual assault. Alcohol Abuse And Sexual Assault Perpetrators
Individuals who commit sexual assault while abusing alcohol have a set of similar characteristics. Many have a habit of long-term, heavy drinking with alcohol. History of binge drinking and frequenting events where alcohol and parties often occur also increases risk.

Coupled with the stereotypes that drinking makes sexual, aggressive, and disinhibited behavior more acceptable, this can create a recipe for disaster.
