I don't want to be the devils advocate but hey lets look at this as it is.  circumstance is big on this situation.  However the senario has been if two people went out got drunk ended up in bed togeather.  Now one says they didn't want to do what was done.  Im sorry but you end up in bed with someone You have a dam good idea what is going on.  You get a women drunk she becomes less attentive to her fears and choice making.  She becomes flirt and fun.  Wakes up in the morning wondering what she done.  And because she let down her gaurd is up set and decided she didn't want what already happened.  Sorry you can't put the shirt back on the rack and get a diffrent one.  From drink one decision making is changed.  Anyway there is alot of grey area in this.  I wouldn't want to be the judge.  And as far as the one who wants to make the laws be careful.  Circumstance lies and regrets tough one.

I relate to Jeremy I was a 5time duii the last being in 2001 or 2.  I have been to impact panels been to class after class and it is a joke.

the truth is the punishment is so the state can make jobs and money.  The leaders in my classes cant lie to me Iam sober and know a drunk and drugy when I see one. 

Under age drinkers really need to be hit hard.  Im not sure of the statistic but know it is really high on those who have been caught drinking early in adolesents will reaffend.    My question is this does the state care really about the death of those killed in car accidents from drunk drivers.  I don't think so.  My thought is those who make rules and laws only sided with MADD because they could see the return.  My last duii cost over 30,000
