Speaking as someone who doesn't drink frequently and does not get drunk, this is an incredibly tactless thing to say. It's like Trump telling kids not to do drugs.

After reading this thread to the end, I can only conclude that one (or both) of these two must be true:

1. Atlas posters are very passionate about their parties and alcohol

OR

2. Kasich is finally being viewed as a real threat by his opponents in both parties

I'm not a frequent alcohol user in the slightest, and Kasich isn't winning. I wouldn't argue that Kasich was intentionally victim blaming, but you have to admit, it wasn't the most tactful thing to say. Of course, getting drunk has its risks, but when that's your response to a question about sexual assault, you can easily come across as patronizing.
