On The Huffington Post, Monte Morin posted an article called, "Pre Drinking or Pre-Funking common among young alcohol users", on November 8,2012. The article was about people drinking before an event usually with cheap alcohol. A Swiss study concluded that "pre-loaded" drinking most likely lead to unprotected sex, blackouts, injury or drug abuse. Experiments examined more than 250 Swiss students for four weeks via Internet and text messages. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, the swiss students were asked how many drinks they had. The research proved that when students "pre-loaded" before going to a bar or club, they ended up drinking more than they would if they did not pre-load. Studies showed that pre-drinkers were more likely to end up in an unsafe situation than others, Shannon R. Henney said that pre-drinking is more likely in the United States because the legal drinking age is higher, therefore teenagers prefer to drink before attending a public event.
Pre drinking seems risky due to the effects it may have on people with a low tolerance. people tend to drink before attending an event in order to be "pumped up" without being aware of the consequences.
