Answer to Question 1

Answers can include any of the following.
When your date drinks:

Don't make excuses for his/her behavior, no matter how embarrassing.

Don't allow embarrassment to put you in a situation with which you are uncomfortable.

Do be sure that body language and tone of voice match verbal messages you send.

Do leave as quickly as you can, without your date. Don't stop to argue. Intoxicated people can't listen to reason.

Do call a cab, a friend, or your parents. Don't ride home with your date.

For women:

Do make your position clear. No is much more effective than Please stop or Don't

Do make it clear that you will call the police if rape is attempted.

Answer to Question 2
