Being Drunk-An Excuse or Not?

Almost all of us have done things we regret, more often then not especially in a setting such as college drugs and alcohol come into play. I'm not talking about passing out and ending up like the guy pictured above but more sexual misfortunes and hook-ups that have escaped ones memory. A friend and I were having a debate whether being drunk is an excuse for a mistake hook-up. We were on opposing sides. I MAy be naiive but I truly believe that wether you are drunk or not there is a moment before every sexual encounter that your brain and conscience decide wether or not this is right and wether or not you want to partake in the craziness. I believe that every person has control of their every action no MAtter the substance. This is an intense stance to take because there are MAny powerful drugs out there that can blur a huMAns ability to be rational. He explained a situation in which he had been so drunk he had done something he never ever would have if sober, now this argument is a valid one but I explained that his drunk brain probably still had a debate about wether or not to actually do it. He didn't agree whatsoever. This is one of those issues which there is no right answer but everyone is on one side or the other. I strongly suggest to ask your friends what they think, it says a lot about what kind of people they are and who they plan on being.
