Yesterday on Salon, Mary Elizabeth Williams blogged about how "Scoring with the drunk chick" scenes are on the rise in movies. Exhibit A: Observe and Report. Which got me thinking, at what point does the drunken sex scene stop being funny and actually become more like advocating risky behavior? Far be it from me to judge other people's weekend rituals. Maybe having a few margaritas and getting it on with your partner, friend, acquaintance, or person you just met at the bar is how you like to spend your weekend. If so, more power to you. But recent research suggests support for at least one theme from Knocked Up--when you are drunk you may be less likely to talk about your contraceptive options and less likely to actually use contraception. And that is a problem.
