I Was Drunk, So It Must Be Rape

So, a lady, and I use the term loosely, in England, gets sloshed and then has sex with a man twenty years younger. And, it must be rape, because she would have never consented to sleep with him if she was sober. I could see this being rape if, I don't know, she was passed out, he pinned her down, or something else, but she says,
engaging in sexual intercourse in a number of different positions
which would imply, based on that number of different positions quip, that she was not forced. Drunk, yes, but not forced. Seriously, had the man actually been found guilty, it would open up a whole can of worms. We'd here things like, "I want the bartender to clean my bathroom. I never would have ordered that round of tequila if I was sober, and I would never have puked all over my own floor when I got home." You'd think by the age of 45 she would learn that alcohol causes a loss of inhibition, and that's why most people drink.

"It wasn't my fault," isn't an excuse for drunk drivers causing accidents, and it's not for her either.
