yes, some women read stupid chick lit...
...but in general, as Dave Barry and numerous other male comedians have pointed out, we aren't as completely stupid when we're drunk.
Think of all the stupid ass things some women do when they get loaded--they drunk dial exes, they take their clothes off in public places, they sing bad karaoke, they hook up with people they shouldn't, they have crying jags, they start fights, they drive when they can barely walk, etc. Men are also known for doing all of these things while drunk.
But, a year or two ago, I read a newspaper article about a young British soldier who had to be treated for third-degree burns to his rectum. He survived a tour of duty in the most dangerous section of Afghanistan unscathed, only to come home, get loaded, and decide that in celebration it was a good idea to shoot bottle rockets out of his ass. Several other buddies of his decided it would be a good idea to film the fireworks.
You never hear about a woman, no matter how drunk she is, thinking it's a good idea to stick lit fireworks where the sun don't shine. And if she even suggested this, her girlfriends, no matter how drunk THEY were, would put a stop to it rather than film the spectacle.
