    It also depends on what is being consented to. We accept that drunk people can consent to commit crimes, but that they cannot consent to have sex.

      If drunk people couldn’t consent as a rule then like 80% of Finnish one night stands would be double rapes (since both are getting raped by the other party) lol

      And the old “I cheated on you because I was drunk”. It’s not so heartwarming that people here are belittling rape with what would be considered negligent sexual assault at the worst.

        I’m just pointing out a strange legal quandary. Obviously noone should fuck around with consent.

        hm, yeah so if you can’t consent when drunk, then you also can’t cheat when drunk. Because it’s non consensual in both cases. (at least intentionally, so it would be a valid excuse in this case)
