Around this time of year, even as people spend hours and hours wrapping up gifts to put under the tree, they forget to wrap up something else. More than a quarter of respondents admitted to having had unprotected sex because they were too drunk to remember to use contraception, according to a study of adults 18 to 35 in the U.K. And the holidays are when people tend to drink more than usual, the study found, with almost half of respondents saying they drink more during the “festive season.” So, as you’re heading out to holiday parties, don’t forget to drop a condom into your bag. And if you want to get into the spirit of the season, make it one that looks like a wreath. [Medical News Today]
