(14,040 posts)is a very fragile line to walk because I believe there are women (and I'll concede men) that are too drunk to give consent. Far be it for me to tell anyone how to have sex or when but if you're too drunk to drive then you're probably in a position where you (as a man) could be charged with assault or rape and a woman could regret her actions. I think responsibility is a big issue too. I think I've had drunk sex once in my life and that was enough for me because it just wasn't fun and who wants to do something that isn't fun?
I'm sure I'm going to piss people off with this statement but on some level I agree with you. I've seen young women go out and get trashed and come on to guys and leave with them and I find myself wondering if there will be allegations in the morning and if that's fair but I also know that if a drunk woman leaves with a man and then passes out before she's naked, even if she agreed to sex before passing out, and he goes ahead and has sex... that's rape. If she has too much to drink, says yes and goes back with him and then decides she doesn't want to have sex and he goes ahead, that's rape. If she drinks too much, goes and has sex and then regrets it in the morning... it may very well be rape according to the law but he had her consent and if she didn't say no, unless he's aware of her blood alcohol level, there's the fine line.
