The whole "victim was too drunk to consent, but the accused who was just as drunk should have known better" thing really rankles at me, I guess. Really drunk people act and do really dumb things. I'd go so far as to say that NEITHER is capable of consenting...but there doesn't seem to be much luck in preventing drunk people from having sex.

On the light hearted side, maybe we need automatic chastity belts that engage after 2-3 beers...
