What’s the difference between having your way with a girl who can’t say no because you’ve poured half a dozen daiquiri in her and one who can’t say no because you gave her a roofie?

In the first case, the woman knowingly and willingly agreed to go out with you, and knowingly and willingly drank the daiquiris, being aware that getting drunk would lower her judgement.

Some women like the idea of getting drunk, so they can rationalize away having slept with the guy as "I'm not really a slut, I was just drunk".

If people are held fully responsible for the consequences of their own drinking when they decide to get behind the wheel, then they should be held equally responsible for the consequences of their own drinking when they get between the sheets while drunk.

Nope. In both cases at some point the woman was voluntarily hanging out with you. Look at the Cosby accusations, they all start with her willingly being with him. Also remember part of “lowering judgement” when you’re drinking is lowering your ability to realize you’ve had too much to drink. There was an article a few months ago making the social media rounds about how it’s the 3rd drink that gets you in trouble, that once you get to the 3rd it’s now turned into a night of hard drinking. I don’t entirely agree with that article, largely my “normal” night out drinking is 3 and no more than 3, but I agree with the general idea that there is that 1 drink too many line that once you cross the night is going to go into many too many.

Some women like the idea of getting drunk. Some women don’t realize how drunk they’ve gotten themselves until they defog in a car with a guy and no idea how they got there. That’s how an old roommate of mine lost her virginity, she was at a party, then she was in a car.

Part of being responsible for drinking and driving is that you can kill others. It’s the difference between being the one person in the situation who definitely isn’t a victim, and the one that very well could be.
