Sexual hook-ups are more likely to occur among late teens and young adults who

A) have college-educated rather than high school-educated parents.
B) frequently rather than seldom attend religious services.
C) earn high rather than low grades in school.
D) consume rather than abstain from alcohol.

Research has consistently shown that individuals who consume alcohol are more likely to engage in sexual hook-ups. This may be because alcohol lowers inhibitions and impairs judgment, leading individuals to engage in behaviors they may not have otherwise. There is no significant correlation between sexual hook-ups and parental education level, religious attendance, or school grades.
