Drinks, drugs, and women’s safety

Drugs and alcohol are involved in over half of assaults on women… Greetings Everyday Spy, Spy training prepares you for almost anything. When you’re a covert intel officer recruiting spies and chasing secrets, you’re going to find yourself in a lot of situations you wouldn’t normally find yourself in. Take, for example, recruiting a mid-ranking cartel member with a cocaine and prostitute addiction. As a spy, you have to be that guy's best-friend… At least he has to think so. And how best to do that than by satisfying his seedy habits? You may not be a huge party animal yourself, but you’re sure going to act like one in order to get the secrets you’re after. But you need to do so safely, without hurting your ability to stay focused, clear-headed, and on-target. My friend, EDFIREBALL, was trained deep in this area. As a solo female operator, she had to take extra precautions to maintain her safety and security in unique, drug-fuelled operations across Eastern Europe. Today, she is going to give you a few pointers to help keep you safe when drugs, alcohol, and sex are involved. --------------------------------BEGIN TEARLINE-------------------------------- Author: EDFIREBALL, a former female covert intel operative from Eastern Europe, is a respected international consultant specializing in physical and digital security for corporations and the ultra-rich.

While getting wasted and having a good time with friends is a nice way to spend an evening, it can also be a very dangerous way to live. Over half of all sexual assaults involve drugs, alcohol, or both. Alcohol is proven to cause memory loss, impaired judgment, and even death. Common party drugs impair your ability to regulate your temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and brain function – all critical to keeping you safe, especially at a party. You can beat bad odds by putting your health and safety first. Follow these simple steps to stay in control while you are out on the town. Party Safety Secret #1Proper Planning As with most things in the intel world, planning and research are your best friends. When you are getting ready to go out, research your target destination. Read the reviews and testimonials so you can learn of any dangerous patterns. The next step is to set a limit on your drinks. You know your body and your tolerance best. So, stick to your limit! Pro tip: The food you eat will affect your tolerance. Eating less means you will get drunker, faster. --------------------------------END TEARLINE------------------------------------ Planning for a party doesn’t steal the fun or cheapen the experience. It’s the opposite. Having a full-proof plan means you can enjoy the party even more, knowing that you are taking all the steps to get home safe. If you have a daughter, friend, or relative in college, share this tip from EDFIREBALL with her. And rest assured that you are doing your part to keep her safe.
