Alcohol’s negative impacts go beyond individual health to even ruin other innocent people’s lives. Sexual assault and alcohol rates have a perturbing connection to one another. In a Harvard 2004-study, college campuses that were reputed for feast drinking had extremely higher rates of sexual assault.

The team of the study also concluded that being a female at a medium to high feast drinking college raised the risk of getting raped by surprisingly 1.5 times. A 2013 study also found similar results.

Not only on campuses, another study have found that nearly half of all attackers committed sexual assaults while drunk and half of all victims reported being intoxicated. This absolutely doesn’t suggest the victims were to blame in any way, as well as it doesn’t suggest that one beer turns all men into rapists.

According to studies, 3% of men commit 90% of all the campus rapes. This shows the strong connection between violence and alcohol, in a way that certainly isn’t with other drugs.

Not crack or meth, alcohol is the world’s most dangerous drug when talking about causing harm to others. According to a study led by Professor David Nutt, former government adviser, on the dangers of 20 available drugs, heroin, crack, and meth, were the top dangerous for individual users, while the use of alcohol was more than twice as likely to cause harm to others.

There are many different reasons behind these results because alcohol is the only drug that sweeps all possible categories, a big part of this might be due to its easy availability. Both cocaine and cannabis scored under 10 for harm to others, while mushrooms, LSD, and ecstasy, scored around zero!
