When I was in college there was a flier circulated by the university concerning getting drunk at parties which could lead to situations ranging from regrettable but consentual sexual encounters to rape. One interesting thing that surprised me was that the state had pretty tough DUI laws (Driving Under the Influence). Which had some legal wording to the effect that being drunk cannot be used as an excuse for having bad judgement and deciding to drive and then getting any liniency because of it. The dark side of that was that in case when a someone gets drunk at a party and then consents to a sexual encounter, it is harder for the defense to make the case for rape. So they basically advised people not to drink because if something happened they might​ have a tough time in court proving it was rape. On the same note, I always wondered why the governmental Surgeon General warning on alcohol containers includes birth defects, driving and operating heavy machinery but doesn't include consenting to sexual encounters which next day might be regrettable. At least compared to "heavy machinery" it would be just as high or higher risk for the average citizen.
