If one were of a predatory mindset, they would look for a target who doesn't seem able to fight off an attack, perhaps staggering and not able to maintain balance. The average person is not going to see a drunk person and think, ooh I could easily rape/mug them, but someone on the prowl for a victim would choose an obviously drunk person over a sober one, all other things being equal.
Oh I get that. Being drunk does make you vulnerable.
But being drunk isn't body language. It's the actual nonverbal communication that you are a victim that I don't get. And this notion that you can avoid displaying victim body language to make yourself less of a target. But surely that depends upon what the predator is looking for in a victim. It might be a drunk cunt trying to show off to his mates and beating the shit out of someone who wouldn't say boo to a goose, or maybe a highly aggressive prick that thinks you looked at them the wrong way and fancy your chances.
