Alcohol-Induced Sexual Assault

Content: When a person abuses alcohol, it can have a major effect on behavior. Alcohol lowers inhibitions and increases aggression, and when it is ingested in high amounts it can also lead to cognitive impairments. This means that the brain is more likely to misread cues of others, misinterpret non-verbal or social cues, and a person may behave in a way that is out of the norm. When a person has expectations in any situation, it influences how they respond to their environment and the people in it. If a perpetrator enters a situation, a bar, party, or date, expecting to have sex, they may see interactions with the opposite sex in a confirming/denial way. 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.
