Social research on alcohol and sexual encounters has tended to be siloed into several different research endeavors, each addressing separate aspects of wanted and unwanted sexual encounters. While sociologists have focused on the patterns of social interaction, status competition, and emotional hierarchies of sexual encounters, they have left the role of alcohol intoxication largely unexamined. Conversely, the two dominant approaches to sexual encounters within alcohol research, the theories of alcohol myopia and alcohol expectancy, while focusing on alcohol have tended to take little account of the socio-relational dynamics and gendered meanings involved in those encounters. Our aim in this theoretical paper is to begin to bring together some of the concepts from these different research strands in examining how the social processes of intoxication potentially impact heteronormative sexual scripts and hence notions of femininity and masculinity among cisgender, heterosexual women and men. Our discussion is focused on the concepts of ritual and scripts; power, status, and hierarchies; and socio-spatial contexts, which are central to an understanding of the gendered and embodied social practices that take place within intoxicated sexual events; the emotional nature of the socio-spatial contexts within which they occur; and the socio-structural conditions that frame these events.
关于酒精与性接触的社会研究往往被分割为几个不同的研究方向，每个方向都关注自愿和非自愿性接触的不同方面。社会学家专注于性接触中的社会互动模式、地位竞争和情感等级制度，却基本未考察酒精中毒所起的作用。相反，酒精研究中关于性接触的两种主要方法，即酒精近视理论和酒精预期理论，虽然聚焦于酒精，但往往很少考虑这些接触中涉及的社会关系动态和性别意义。在这篇理论性论文中，我们的目的是开始整合这些不同研究方向的一些概念，以探讨中毒的社会过程如何可能影响异性恋规范的性脚本，进而影响顺性别、异性恋女性和男性的女性气质和男性气质观念。我们的讨论集中在仪式和脚本的概念；权力、地位和等级制度；以及社会空间背景，这些对于理解在醉酒性事件中发生的性别化和具身化社会行为、这些行为发生的社会空间背景的情感本质，以及构成这些事件的社会结构条件至关重要。
