Here's a meaningful way to reduce the incidence of sexual assault: educate women about the dangers of binge drinking.  In every account I've read - such as Ava's, in this weekend's Globe - the victim (and usually the perpetrator as well) is absolutely blotto. We are constantly told how to protect ourselves against other crimes, from computer hacking to burglaries, and yet we tell young women that they can drink themselves senseless yet nothing bad will happen to them.
