I agree with you wholeheartedly on all of this. I don't go out drinking for this very reason, nor do I let my male friends in my apartment unless there are at least a few other people there. I hate that I have to do it--I trust my friends, I swear I do--but there is still that damn standard. "You went out with/let him in, what did you expect?" I hate it.

And yes, there does need to be a lecture on over-indulging, but that's because drinking too much or using drugs too much is stupid for everyone. Dammit.
