Alcohol has set us into a cycle whereby we only get together when we're drinking. Even then, we don't sit and talk as we play cards and hold beer bottles. I usually mark time until he careens through a crowd to find me and follow me back to my dorm room. We are stuck in neutral, and alcohol has made it increasingly impossible to switch gears.
A study by the Institute of Alcohol Studies in the UK that polle a thousand women found that a third of them had had unprotected sex after drinking too much, and almost half had a one-night stand they wouldn't have otherwise considered.
