Chapter 3.4: Security and free time
In countries where drinking alcohol is a social custom, is drinking to the point of getting drunk a security risk?
by Enrique Eguren and Marie Caraj
SendGetting drunk in a public place has a definite impact on security. The de-fender
might talk, their behaviour is altered and they might not be aware that they are
being deliberately questioned or challenged. There is a definite impact on the
organisation image, if not directly on the physical security of the human rights
defenders. And remember that a drunk defender provides an opportunity for any
hostile group to attempt to take advantage of when contemplating an attack on
the defenders’ organisation (the same is true for other drugs). The use of alco-
hol and other drugs with regards to security should not be examined neither
from a moral nor a health point of view, but as an objective fact affecting secu-
rity.
