Legally speaking, for two people to have sex, you've both got to agree to it. that's called consent: a voluntary, verbal, positive affirmation that you both want to have sex. Problem is, things get hazy if either you or your partner is drunk. So keep these points in mind if you're drunk and horny, or you may find yourself sober and jailed:
|
Consent is not just the absence of the word "no." So ask your partner if he or she wants to have sex. No answer means "no." |
| |
Even if you hear the word, "yes," explicit consent may not be considered legally established. If you've been drinking, any sexual activity will still be considered assault in some states. |
| |
 Remember you or your partner can change "yes" to "no" at any time. |
| |
If someone is passed out, he or she can't give his or her consent. If you have sex with this person, you will be committing sexual assault. Period. |
| |
Don't think you can claim you were drunk and didn't know what you were doing if you commit an act of sexual assault. You will be held accountable for your conduct.

60% of college women who are infected with STDs, including genital herpes and AIDS, report that they were under the influence of alcohol at the time they had intercourse with the infected person.
