Recently a woman drank five bottles of wine, performed a sex act on a guy, helped the guy undress himself, helped the guy undress her, and then doinked him like the world was about to end. When she woke up she apparently decided that if she was too drunk to remember doing all of this then she must have been too drunk to know what she was doing when she gave consent, and therfore was raped.
The Jury, made mostly of women, told her to jog on.
What I'm wondering is: if yes, you can be too drunk to be held accountable for the consent you give, then what about being too drunk to be held accountable for the death of the man you kicked 57 times outside of the nightclub last saturday? Too drunk to be held accountable for the child you ran over on sunday? Is being drunk an excuse for anything, or is it about time we all grew grown-up spines and learned to not pass our limits?
