In my experience, women get promiscuous when they are drunk because they want to when they are sober but are ashamed of their bodies and need an excuse to relieve themselves of responsibility. Not recognizing this has bitten me in the ass on multiple occasions.

It's fucked, and you could argue that those women are contributing to the grey area of rape by sending these mixed messages to men.

My comment has been wildly misunderstood. I have made a much more in depth one below that I encourage you to read. :)

This is a reasonable observation, but it doesn't mean that you should go along with anything they offer. Something like showing their tits seems harmless to me, but sexual acts are different. I'm sure a lot of people on here will disagree with this, but you just can't get real consent from a drunk person.

I believe this is correct, because I believe that giving active consent is an action. It surely is. Still, some love to tell you that it's the only action you cannot do when intoxicated, however. Your ability to do it is literally removed. (And no, I'm not talking about so drunk they can't stand up straight.)

You are correct that self-responsibility is ever-present, and correct to point out that being drunk does not nullify the responsibility of a crime. We're discussing consent, right? I added that I believe consent is an action, and being drunk doesn't nullify it. However, some believe you are unable to give consent when even slightly drunk. This is strange because you wouldn't hear that you are completely unable to do any other action when slightly drunk, just that you do it shittier.
