Two questions: - if the buyer was intoxicated, isn't that sale invalid? - how is that in any way ethical?

Two questions:
- if the buyer was intoxicated, isn't that sale invalid?
- how is that in any way ethical?
- squeaky-clean 5y ago> if the buyer was intoxicated, isn't that sale invalid? Under what law? Am I not allowed to drunkenly order food at a restaurant? What's the threshold for a purchase that should be invalid?
- diffeomorphism 5y agoLots of laws to pick from depending on the jurisdiction, e.g. see https://www.quora.com/If-you-sign-a-contract-while-drunk-or-otherwise-intoxicated-is-it-still-legally-binding https://www.quora.com/If-you-sign-a-contract-while-drunk-or-... > what is the threshold... Far past the threshold is glaringly obvious, far below as well. If it is close, you do what is always done about any threshold question.
- Simon_O_Rourke 5y agoI don't think selling things to people while they are drunk/high/otherwise is invalid. Otherwise Walmart would have to breathalyze visitors. However, it's massively, objectively, unequivocally unethical, and part of the reason I quit that place. And for the record, selling crap to drunk people in APAC was probably the least morally suspect tactic this company got up too.
- HWR_14 5y agoWalmart will let you return an item the next day. Meanwhile, I believe that a contract signed while drunk would be unenforceable. What does the acronym APAC mean?

- swiftcoder 5y ago> if the buyer was intoxicated, isn't that sale invalid? Sadly, we don't hold capitalism to consent standards
