" A new study out of Arizona State University suggests that women should stick with other women while spending a night out at the bar. The study, which focused on college-age women, concluded that there are three &amp;quot;distinct communication strategies&amp;quot; women use to keep their fellow female friends from making potentially dangerous dating decisions while sporting beer goggles: 1. The Friendly Reminder: Subjects said they would remind friends who looked like they were about to go home with a new acquaintance of all the potentially disastrous things that could come of a one-night stand, like pregnancy, health issues, and even just plain regret. 2. Trickery: Well-intentioned deception tactics included taking the tipsy friend to get food or luring her into a cab.  3. Confrontation: By far the most direct route, some subjects reported simply telling their friend that it&amp;#039;s time to go or physically removing the impaired to another location altogether. So the next time you think of hitting up a new bar, remember that it pays to bring your most trust-worthy friends, and that your friends may in turn depend on you to help them make safer decisions. Looks like the old D.A.R.E. mantra, &amp;quot;strength in numbers,&amp;quot; still rings true. -Natalie Hormilla Photo: Courtesy of Getty Images "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
