Notably absent is alcohol's effect on long-term memory. Drinking to the point of impairing long-term episodic memory (BAC of 0.08-0.15) is not the same as drinking to the point you cannot consent.
- michaelmrose 4y agoDrinking to the point of impairing memory would seem at best impair judgement and ensure the person has no way to discern whether they consented or not. I see no reason to treat that as valid consent millions of people in the states live in states that wouldn't. Morally respecting partners rights costs you nothing.
