Jacqui Smith in a binge drinking debate in this month's Elle magazine:
Elle: Should we be worried about the amount we drink?
Jacqui Smith: We know that the excessive consumption of alcohol by young people can cause real harm to their health, but we also need to consider the impact it has on women's personal safety - one in three rapes occur after the victim has been drinking.
Thankfully Anna Blundy also participated:
Elle: Is the concern about women binge drinking actually misogyny in disguise?
Anna Blundy: I think there is a horrible misogyny. In general, it is not women committing crimes when they are drunk - they're more likely to have crimes committed against them.
