Drunkenness and Consent

*puts on flame suit* Why is that when you sleep with a girl and she's drunk she can claim -blam!-. But if you're drunk and you kill somebody you're convicted of murder? In both situations you aren't really [i]you[/i], and thus shouldn't be legally liable for anything. I think if you use drugs [i]willingly[/i] YOU should be liable for everything your body does in the state that it goes into while taking in said drugs. ANY girl can claim -blam!- if they wake up the next day and feel like throwing the dude under the bus. There is nothing proving she was "-blam!-" other than matching DNA to the guy in question. No bruises, no wound of any kind, no kind of struggle at all. Looks like consenting sex to me. If she's totally unconscious, then it's a kidnapping and -blam!-; you can't just take people in their sleep and do shit to them. If BOTH guy and girl are drunk, they both can claim -blam!- on each other then. Boom cancels the stupidity out on that one. I've read stories of a girl claiming she was -blam!- at a party while she was drunk, BUT THE GUYS WERE ALSO WASTED! Double -blam!-ing standard. tl;dr: there is a double standard for drunkenness and the law. Either they're responsible for all actions or none.

  • Nh gif. Now u think that of you get high you are responsible for your actions but not if you get drunk? Why should there be any difference. If you are not prepared for the problems associated when you are drunk you should not get drunk .
