A low to medium ping list aimed at all of us who, well, love our beer…

So are you saying you think it is right that you can fill any girl up with tons of booze so you can get in her pants? I bet you would not say that if you had a daughter in her late teens or early twenty's

Did someone say that? What I thought has been said is that just because a drunk girl has sex doesn't mean it is rape.

This reminds me of the dialog in Animal House between Larry's good conscience and bad conscience, but I don't think there's any way to dress it up enough to post that does it justice.

Mr Bree helped her wash her hair. M's next memory, she said, was finding herself on the bed. Mr Bree was having sex with her. She told the jury that she had not consented.

Lack of memory does not equal lack of consent. Since she has no memory of what happened, she can't credibly claim that she didn't consent. She doesn't remember what happened and is simply making stuff up to fill in the blanks.
