In the 2007-08 THMIS, respondents were asked if they or their partners drank alcohol the last time they had sex.The question was asked for up to three partners in the past 12 months.Four percent of women <strong>and</strong> 2 percent of men reported having had sex when drunk during the12 months preceding the survey (Table 8.7). Mixing sexual intercourse <strong>and</strong> alcohol drinking is morecommon among women <strong>and</strong> men in their early 20s than among those age 15-19 years. It is also morecommon among young women <strong>and</strong> men age 15-24 who have ever been married compared with thosewho have never married. Sexual intercourse when drunk is also more common in young women <strong>and</strong>men with no education <strong>and</strong> those in the lower wealth quintiles.104 | Youth <strong>and</strong> <strong>HIV</strong>/<strong>AIDS</strong>
