One of the biggest problems with alcohol is that it affects our ability to make decisions. Because of this, the law says that a person under the influence of alcohol is incapable of making a rational decision, which includes consenting to have sex.

That means that if you have sex with a person who is drunk or high, the law will call it rape. So if someone has been drinking and approaches you at a party or anywhere else for sex, the smartest thing is to say "no." Doesn't matter how hot they are or how interested in you they are. You can always get that person's number and get in touch the next day!

The added problem is if you've been drinking too. If you've been drinking, then your judgment may also be off. If you initiate the behavior without getting consent, you would be considered the “aggressor” and would still be held legally responsible for your actions. It’s kind of like when someone has alcohol and then drives. They didn’t make a good decision, but they’re still breaking the law. Make sense?
