S1 Episode 19: Drugs, Alcohol & Self Defense | Pretty Deadly Podcast

Sexual abuse involving the perpetrator uses drugs and alcohol as an excuse for abuse or violence are well documented. This episode is more about how boundaries get fuzzy and vague for women who use drugs and alcohol, especially in environments like raves, music festivals, or something like Burning Man. Susie talks about the role of drugs and alcohol in self-defense, how to better protect ourselves if we do use drugs or drinking. In short, the choice to do drugs or alcohol is not an invitation for an assault and it’s not your fault, but you have to be aware of your vulnerabilities.
