There are always studies that suggest that girls need to be sheltered and protected from everything, including themselves, because of risky behavior like alcohol abuse, which apparently kids have been picking up as early as age 10. One article published in London's Daily Mail quotes research that found that women who binge drink are more likely to have unprotected sex, leading to unwanted pregnancies and STDs. (How come they don't mention that guys who drink play an equal part in those situations?) Anyway, above is a clip from Degrassi Junior High, in which the class tramp/student body president Stephanie Kaye (dressed as a middle-aged divorcee on a singles cruise in the '80s) chugs Bailey's before the school dance and eventually hurls. Basically, what we're trying to say is that girls aren't retards, and they will learn from their drunken mistakes. Like how next time, a person should stick to one type of liquor.
