If you enter into a binding contract with someone while they are intoxicated to the point of impairment, the contract can be invalidated on those grounds as long as impairment can be proven in a court.

You can't give reasonable consent while impaired. If it can be further demonstrated that one party intentionally attempted to induce intoxication for the purposes of attaining contractual consent, they can be held criminally liable for that act.

Consent isn't only about sex. It's much murkier and dubious in cases of mutual intoxication and interpersonal relations. This poster is simply trying to make people aware of fairly basic laws regarding consent in the United States. And it's worth knowing.

Men generally have a higher tolerance for alcohol than women even if they are equal height and weight due to differences in alcohol metabolism. There's perhaps some embedded sexism in this poster's standards, but it's better to be informed than incarcerated.

Can I buy this poster? I want to hang it up so people can laugh at it when they visit.

It's so fucking stupid.

A man can't consent when he's drunk either.

This is why I always say that women have a huge advantage over men in any conflict like this.

If you don't believe me...Well, when female teachers rape their male students, nothing happens, same crime committed by a male teacher, instantly sends that male teacher to jail.

Based on that eye contact I think I might be Jake's next victim.

A lot of discussion in this thread, but this depends on many things. I already blacked out from drinking and would hate if somebody did something to me. But there are other levels of drunkenness, and you can also read the other person's mood, their movement, their agreement towards getting physical, and judge who is the more sober of the two, and try to communicate these things.

Basically Michael Cera in Superbad.

Jake deserves prison for drinking cocktails
