Just 2% of men questioned said they had been sexually assaulted after drinking too much. More than a quarter (27%) of women had been arrested or cautioned by police while drunk compared to just 16% of men, according to the survey.
And nearly a fifth (19%) of the female interviewees had been injured through an accident after getting drunk compared to 14% of men.
Of the 1,000 people questioned, 63% had phoned in sick for work after a big night out.

The survey of 18 to 30-year-olds revealed that 34% of interviewees got drunk due to peer pressure. Almost one third of interviewees said they drank too much because they had a bad day or week and 31% said they got drunk to make them feel more confident.
