If you fuck a girl while she's drunk, she can claim rape the next day.
Doesn't getting drunk yourself limit your liability? I always remembered hearing in college that sex with a drunk girl is not OK, unless you're drunk too.
Nah, doesn't look like it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics
"Drug use, especially alcohol, is frequently involved in rape. In 47% of rapes, both the victim and the perpetrator had been drinking. In 17%, only the perpetrator had been. 7% of the time, only the victim had been drinking. Rapes where neither the victim nor the perpetrator had been drinking were 29% of all rapes.[36]"
In almost half of rape statistics, both the male and female were drinking. Only in 1/3rd of all rapes was there no alcohol involved.
I think rape may be wildly overblown and there's a lot of fear-mongering about it. It's ridiculous that a girl and guy can get drunk together and have sex and if she regrets it the next day she can scream rape and the guy at worst goes to prison and at best has sex offender on his record. I hope that's wrong. That's insane. I would think it would only be rape if she were were resisting, but it's really not that clear. If rape is having sex with any woman that's intoxicated, then I guessed I'm a rapist too.
