Oooo.... I got a great idea.... How about the Parents start doing their damn jobs and actually "Parent" their children? Young adults in Europe deliberately binge on drink and drugs to improve their sex lives, research suggests.
The UK has one of the worst reputations for binge drinking and underage sex but there are striking similarities between countries, a study found.
A third of 16 to 35-year-old men and 23% of women questioned said they drank to increase their chance of sex.
The study - of 1,341 young people in nine countries including the UK - is published in BMC Public Health.
Young people were also more at risk of unsafe sex while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the study found.
The researchers said although it was well known that use of alcohol and drugs was linked to risky sexual behaviour, this study showed many young people were "strategically" binge drinking or abusing drugs to improve their sex lives.
They questioned young people in nine cities, one each in the UK, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Slovenia - who all routinely went to pubs, bars and nightclubs.
Early use of alcohol and other drugs was closely linked to having sex under the age of 16 years, in all countries, especially in girls.
Almost half of participants in Vienna, Austria had drunk alcohol and had sex by the time they were 16 compared with 36% in Venice, Italy, 37% in Palma, Spain and 30% in Liverpool.
The same was true for those who took drugs under the age of 16 but there were variations in popularity of different drugs among different countries.
More than a quarter of youngsters taking cocaine said they used it to prolong sex and drug use in general was linked to having multiple partners.
'Risky'
Drunkenness and drug use were found to be strongly associated with an increase in risk taking behaviour and feeling regretful about having sex.
Those who had been drunk in the past four weeks were more likely to have had five or more partners, sex without a condom and to have regretted sex after drink or drugs in the past 12 months.
Cannabis, cocaine or ecstasy use was linked to similar consequences.
Study leader Professor Mark Bellis, director of the Centre for Public Health at Liverpool John Moore's University said: "Millions of young Europeans now take drugs and drink in ways which alter their sexual decisions and increase their chances of unsafe sex or sex that is later regretted.
"Yet despite the negative consequences, we found many are deliberately taking these substances to achieve quite specific sexual effects."
He added that strategies to reduce substance abuse and encourage safe sexual behaviour needed to take into account the fact that the two were inextricably linked.
Simon Blake, chief executive of Brook, said: "When it comes to drugs and alcohol young people learn from us, the adults who help determine the culture in which young people are learning about sex, and learning about drugs and alcohol. "Sex and relationships education also needs to include more discussion about the association between alcohol, drugs and unsafe sex."
Frank Sodeen from Alcohol Concern said: "The report is a good reminder of the multiple dimensions of drink-related harm."
He added local authorities need to think as broadly as possible about projects to reduce alcohol use and incorporate issues such as sexual health.

You can't consume too much booze and have meaningful sex as you will likely suffer from Whisky dick.

It's a well known fact that American & Canadian women age much better then their British counterparts, hence British men getting totally shat faced before they'll slide their women a length.

I think you'll find that if Canadians and Americans don't get drunk to have sex, then THEY are the ones who are behind.

in fact, and i know this not from personal experience, of course... but if you tend to be a bit quick off the mark during sex, some alcohol can slow things down a bit, which is a nice gift for your intended bedmate
alcohol doesn't cause impotence in all males, or at all levels. Frankly, in my husband it's the opposite effect unless he hits the point of falling down drunk.

For a man to seek to sex is considered quite natural. But for a woman to seek sex is somehow viewed as being more disturbing for our society. Would this be a result of our Christian background?
Quoting karrie
I think you're on to something there Karrie...
What I see a lot of is women who drink so that they have an excuse for wanting sex. They want the sex before the drinking, but, feel that society will think them whorish or trampy for seeking what they want, unless there is some excuse of impaired reasoning.

I see both sexes in the same light when it comes to this. Some may still feel society has these little labels for each sex, where it's alright for a man to do this but not women, but I think that old stereo-type is long dead when you think about it.
And if you don't believe me, check out the current music videos.

Getting drunk to cover this so they don't appear whorish.... um.... is probably even more whorish if you ask me.
