A woman pretended to be drunk in the street to gauge men's reactions as part of a social experiment - and the results will shock you.
The 10-minute clip, uploaded to YouTubeby rehab clinic Centro Europeo Neurosalus, shows a scantily-clad actress drinking from a bottle of alcohol at 5.30pm in the buzzing city of Madrid.
A steady stream of men begin approaching her, but rather than offering to help her, they suggest drinking more alcohol and some attempt to get intimate with her.

Speaking at the start of the video, the director says: 'What you are about to see is something more than just a simple social experiment.'
He goes on to explain that an actress will play the role of a drunken woman and then interact with people in the street - in broad daylight in a busy city centre - to see how they react.
He adds: 'This particular situation poses many questions: "what could happen, for example, on a Friday or Saturday night?"', before continuing: 'Will men help her? Let's see what happens.'
The woman, dressed in a fitted, short dress with ample cleavage on show, stands in the middle of a bustling square drinking a large bottle of beer in a plastic bag.
A group of four men immediately approach her and when she tells them that she is lost and has no battery on her phone, they ask her where her friends are and where she's from.
'We'll help you find your friends,' the men say as they get closer and closer to the woman.
After telling the men she has 'drunk too much', they insist she 'hasn't drunk enough' and suggest she 'drinks a little more.'
The next man that approaches asks her: 'Is this the first time you have gotten drunk?', to which she answers: 'I never drink.'
The man then suggests the pair go and sit in a stairwell - because if she doesn't sit, he claims she will fall over.
He then links arms with her and attempts to lead her away saying: 'Come on, give me your hand', before she manages to break free.
The next duo to spot the woman, approach her, and suggest drinking more alcohol.
Despite telling them she has already drunk enough, the men, who wrap their arms around the woman, insist on going to the shop to buy some more alcohol.
They also tell her she can charge her phone at their hotel and then invite her friends to join the party. 'Afterwards, we will call your friends and introduce them to me,' says one man, before calling the woman 'beautiful.'
Another passer by puts his arm around the woman and asks her if she is married. When she tells the man: 'I don't know where I am', he replies: 'I have an iPhone charger at the hotel.'
Despite the woman falling into him and telling him she 'feels bad' and 'can't walk', he goes on to state he is buying more beer for her.
'Even more beer? Do you think I can drink more?', she asks. 'Yes,' he replies as he takes her hand and assures her that he will drink with her.
Perhaps the most shocking moment comes when a man spots the woman waiting alone.
After asking her name and calling her 'beautiful', he leads her down a quiet alleyway and pins her against the wall and attempts to kiss her several times.
One of her colleagues has to intervene to break up the couple but the man claims he knows the woman and isn't keen to let her go.
'Hey, why do you take her?,' he asks. 'You don't take her!,' he repeats as he struggles to keep hold of the woman.
Her colleague manages to free the woman from the man's grip and leads her to safety. He can be heard in the microphone saying: 'Don't let anyone touch you.'
The director returns to the screen at the end of the video and concludes: 'Most of you are probably surprised and some of you also disgusted and maybe you are thinking that we have avoided some scenes favouring the most "juicy" parts, but I am afraid to deceive you.
'It really was the opposite. Those situations full of rudeness and physical abuse were taken away because there is no need to show it in such depth.
'The most disappointing fact is that we had no need to edit the video. Why? Because nobody got close to helping this drunken woman.'
Speaking to MailOnline about the video, Dr Sarah Jarvis, medical advisor to alcohol education charity Drinkaware, said: 'It is never a woman’s fault if she is attacked or assaulted when she’s under the influence of alcohol.
'Nobody should ever do that to anybody else particularly if they’re vulnerable, but as this video shows it can happen.'

•Admin, Senate buildings laced with charms •No-go-area for VC, staff for past 7 months DON’T step into the Admin Block 1 of the Lagos State University (LASU) or the Senate Building if you don’t want to die! That is the message that those who laced the place with charms sought to deliver with their frightening deed. Since then fear has pervaded the 32-year-old institution in the past six months. The Admin Block 1, which houses the office of the Vice Chancellor, Prof John Obafunwa, other principal officers and registry staff has been deserted for over six months over alleged juju scare. This is the second time under his administration that juju was reportedly placed on the Admin Block and Senate Building.
On a good day, the Admin Block 1 was the busiest office on the campus and has the highest human traffic, mainly staff, students and visitors entering and coming out. It is a one storey building located near the Badagry Expressway gate of the university.
The Senate Building, which faces both the Admin Block 1 and 2, has also been abandoned in the past six months for the same reason forcing meetings of the Senate to be held at the Lagos State University College of Medicine (LASUCOM).
In the last six months, the Admin Block 1 and the Senate Building have been made to look like a ghost town because of desertion by the Vice Chancellor, Prof John Obafunwa, principal officers and other staff over fear of being harmed by fetishes left in the area. The trouble started on Monday, March 16, 2015, when the staff unions chased out the VC, his two deputies, the Registrar and other senior management staff out of the campus. Less than 24 hours after the protest, the university workers asked the former Governor, Babatunde Fashola, to appoint an acting VC, adding that they have ‘sacked’ the vice chancellor. The staff unions also demanded for a Visitation Panel.
The next day after the protest, congress of the three staff unions at their different meetings banned Prof. Obafunwa from entering the campus, accusing him of maladministration and several other offences. Loyalists of the VC fought back and condemned the action of their colleagues, insisting that Obafunwa should be allowed into the university to carry out his duties. After the ugly incident, the Admin Block 1 and the Senate were locked and since then no staff including the principal officers and even the campus security personnel had gone near the building.
The 32-year-old institution may have made history as the first tertiary institution whose VC has not set foot on campus for over six months because of the prolonged face-off with the workers who have vowed not to allow him into the university.
Fear of what happened to other workers, who some years back tried to force open the Admin and Senate blocks, also made security personnel and those loyal to the embattled VC not to open the two iron gates. Rumours about staff who were struck by strange illness when they tried to enter the buildings previously has made the place a no-go area. For days, some staff were placed on ‘special duty’ by the unions to monitor the locked Admin and Senate blocks even as the workers gathered under a tree to continue with their celebration over the banishment of the VC and other top management from the campus.
Investigation reveals that several attempts were made by the immediate past governor to smuggle the embattled VC into the campus but the main problem was that nobody wanted to go near the Admin Block 1 and the Senate Building because of fear of the juju.
Even the NANS and LASU students union that demanded for the VC’s return to the main campus were not bold enough to go near the dreaded spots. They restricted their protest around the two gates.
When our correspondent visited the campus, it was evident that the Admin Block and Senate Building has not been used for several months, as the surroundings were overgrown with weeds. It was gathered that members of staff of the university also avoid the place for fear of bad omen.
Further enquires revealed that registry staffs, whose offices were located in the Admin Block 1 and the Senate Building have been temporary relocated to other offices. The VC, Prof Obafunwa, has been using his personal office at LASUCOM, while Senate meetings were held at one of the halls in LASUCOM.
Efforts by our correspondent to find out who laced the Admin Block and Senate Building with juju proved abortive as the Director, Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations (CIPPR), Mrs. Ronke Osho was said to have started her retirement leave from the services of the Lagos State government.
The chairmen of ASUU, SSANU and NASU claimed ignorance of the juju. But some union members dared the students, state government and Obafunwa’s loyalists to open the gates.
“The unions will not stop them from going to open the Admin Block 1 and the Senate Building, but they know the consequences,” a staff who wishes to remain anonymous, explained. “Those who tried it some years ago know what happened. Even the VC and his loyalists know the implications of going to open the gates by force.’
It was gathered that before the gates of the Admin Block 1 and Senate Building would be opened for use, certain rituals would need to be performed in the night.
The new Pro Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council, Prof. Adebayo Ninalowo told Education Review that he and his members are working hard to restore peace on campus. He said they met the staff unions and students unions recently.
Obafunwa’s tenure would end on October 31 and staff unions have already started a countdown for him with two big banners placed at the two gates of the university. announcing how many days are left of his administration. The Sun.
Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministries, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has urged judges in Enugu State to shun cultism or face dire consequences.
The fiery priest made the appeal during a holy mass, which was part of activities to mark the beginning of Enugu State Judiciary Legal Year held at Christ the King Parish, Enugu. He alleged that some belong to secret societies in a bid to protect their lives and to ensure a successful career without knowing that such practices would only end in bringing the wrath of God upon them.
Mbaka advised the judges and lawyers to see their profession as a special calling from God and, therefore, try to carry out their functions with the fear of God. “If any of you is in any secret society, you had better come out of it before it is too late. You don’t need such things. Those who join them never enjoy their last days. You are never protected.
“They may promise you favour but that comes from God alone. So, depend on Him because He is the Chief Judge. “One thing with such secret societies is that they will never tell you what the end of it is like, they will show you the part you think is good but when you enter, you will be finished.”
He charged judges to always carry out their function of dispensation of justice without fear or favour, adding that “when justice is denied, God is not happy.” He also pointed out that “many people in the prison today are there because of what they know nothing about; maybe because of lies told against them.” Mbaka also told the judges to stand as the last hope of the common man in the society and always live up to expectations.
“Whatever you do in the court will come back to your family; if you are unjust in the court, maybe one day, one of your children will be jailed or even killed,” he said. The Catholic priest who predicted the defeat of former President Goodluck Jonathan recalled that God had long before the general elections revealed to him that Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi would be the next governor of Enugu State.
“The first time I saw the governor, then he was in the National Assembly and I didn’t even know him. I greeted him and told him ‘you are going to be the governor of Enugu State,” he said. He urged Ugwuanyi to always bear the interest of the people of the state at heart and also remain close to God in all he does. “You need protection from heaven so that you will be able to actualize all the good plans you have for Enugu. Know that you are a prayer answered because Enugu made a lot of noise about your election”, he told Ugwuanyi, who was at the church.
Other dignitaries who attended the mass service were the Enugu Deputy Governor, Mrs. Cecilia Ezeilo; Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Edward Ubosi; the Chief Judge of the State, Hon. Justice I. A. Umezulike; Senator Chukwuka Utazi, among others.
The celebration continued at the state judiciary complex where the Chief Judge inspected a guard of honour mounted for the ceremony before going to preside over a special court session as part of activities lined up for the celebration. The Sun.
