I grew up in Milwaukee which had one of the highest number of bars per capita in the country. This could put a crimp in the bar biz.
Rape law expands to include alcohol
The nation’s top party school could get a sobering jolt from a change in state law that puts alcohol on a par with date-rape drugs as an aggravating factor in certain sexual assaults.
The change, long sought by rape- victim advocates in Wisconsin, means that victims who are very drunk during a sexual encounter can be judged incapable of giving consent, triggering a possible second-degree sexual assault charge.
Prior to the change, which took effect in June, a victim who had been drinking typically had to be unconscious to be deemed incapable of consenting to sex.
Naturally, the femaie has NO responsibility for getting drunk in the first place.

Of course not. Haven’t you learned that personal responsibility is out of vogue in the twenty-first century?
Do as thou will, then blame someone else!
Haha, that number 1 guy, Blake is quite funny, but quite true.
What happens if they’re both Drunk? Is it Budweiser or the Bars fault then?
Yeah, it turns out that Wisconsin has a law against screwing crazy women, too. Who knew?

Why dont they just go ahead and make sex illegal then?
That girl in the photo looks wasted off her ass. If all drunk girls looked like that, there’d be a lot less date rape. She’s got an excellent strategy to avoid becoming a victim.
Once again, the idiots are in charge.
The issue with the date-rape drug is that it is given to the victim WITHOUT her consent. Assuming the alcohol can be given without her consent, then I’m OK with the change, but assuming she puts herself in the situation, I’m not sure a change in the law is needed. (Rape is rape, and is up to a JURY to decide whether consent was given, not a blood alcohol test).
Voluntary putting one’s self on too-much alcohol is a personal responsibility, bad things can happen, including DWI, which is dealt with very harshly.
i live in madison, wi and i thought WE had more bars per capita. hmmm … milwaukee is bigger though.
but seriously, i think this is b.s. i’m quite familiar with the bar scene here, especially the college bar scene and there are three things a girl has to be in order to fit into that scene.
1. she’s gotta be nearly naked
2. she’s gotta be looking to get WASTED
3. she’s gotta be looking to get laid.
period.
i don’t mean to be heartless, but sometimes … these girls are asking for it. pure and simple.
No doubt that this law will be misued at some point by overzealous prosccutors but I don’t think that the intent is particularly bad. The law already says that you can’t be held to a contract that you entered into when drunk so it doesn’t seem a far stretch to say that you can’t give informed consent to other things when drunk. I think that even being intoxicated at the time of marriage has on occassion be found as sufficent grounds for annulment.
If you screw somebody and they turn around and file rape charges, hey.
You could have chosen not to screw them in the first place.
So long as we’re going to talk about personal responsibility. 😉
Unless times have seriously changed, bars are the prime place for pickups. Granted that many girls may go because they want a bit of fun and attention. That’s fine, go with a friend(s) and drink responsible. Going alone and getting fall down drunk is almost a guarantee of waking up someplace you don’t want to be sober. Chances are if you’re doing this often you need to drop by an AA meeting or go into rehab. There’s too many nut jobs around, and this is a great path to a coroners table.
“Fighting” Bob Lafollette is smiling in his grave.
While I am a fan of personal responsibility, I have also been out with someone who after consuming ONE drink passed out on the floor. It turned out, some A$%H*&LE put something in her drink because he thought it would be really funny to see our designated driver pass out.
Unfortunately, some bad apples ruin everything for everyone.
Such an idio law will only deserve one possible answer in case a studip prosecutor tries to use it against you… say you were drunk and counter sue. If she is ugly, then your case is made way much easier. lol
