"Drunk" people absolutely can consent dude lmao. Alcohol is the best aphrodisiac there is. Drunk people have been consenting since the dawn of civilization. Black-out drunk people can't consent.
This is incorrect. While drunk people are capable of speaking words of consent, people who are intoxicated are LEGALLY UNABLE to consent. A drunk person can verbally give consent in the moment and you can still be charged with SA because legally speaking their words of consent are 100% invalid.
Alcohol is not an aphrodisiac, it is a sedative intoxicant which impairs cognitive brain function and inhibitions, and disrupts normal decision making processes. This is why LEGAL consent cannot be given by anyone under the influence of alcohol no matter what the other circumstances. This is among the many things that have changed since "the dawn of civilization". The only people who still think of alcohol as an aphrodisiac are people who are only able to convince other people to have sex with them if those people are unable to think clearly.
If anyone follows the above dipshit's advice, it not only risks harming another person in a profoundly serious way, but is also a class 1 felony in most states. It is a lose/lose situation, so don't do it.
It’s crazy that if you decide to get drunk and have sex then the courts say you didn’t have agency over your decision and you can’t consent. But if you decide to get drunk and drive it’s a 100% your fault and you consented to driving drunk.
Because, you should ensure, that you wont be driving before getting shitfaced. And when you drive, you endenger others. But when we talk about it from sexual pov, then others can take advantage of you, so you can't legally consent. Especially if the other party isnt under influence.
If we talking 2 people drunk, then in most cases, nobody cares. The only issue is to prove, that both of you were drunk. So one wasnt taking advantage of others. I remember a case, where this happened, where guy was pretending being drunk to get other drunk people. Even though few girls were accusing him of rape, it wasnt, because people thought he was drunk. Until friend told on him, that he was bragging to them about how he "gets" woman
You have a responsibility, when doing dangerous things like drinking, to prevent yourself access to dangerous things like cars and guns, until you are sober again, which usually means leaving the car keys and guns with a friend

While yes this is generally true, drunk people cannot meaningfully consent, and it's best not to take the risk even if she's really really into you
