If you get drunk and initiate sex with someone, it means they raped you.

Only if you has a vagina, right? Or is it just that "initiate" means "poke?"

not sure about the wording of the law, but it's probably easier to get a conviction. it helps if you were a virgin too.

Re: Odd Question About Alcohol
 

Not an odd question at all imo. The answer is fairly straightforward - drinking is inherently good so the only issue is whether the downside outweighes this good. The downsides are:

You may do something you regret
Financial
Health
Law (some loony may want to persecute you)

Its easy in a civilised country to keep those downsides pretty minimal and way below the good. The main thing most of us do is not drink when important/difficult decisions are likely to be made - society organises itself fairly well so we can drink in the evening (and in the good old days of the 80's, in the afternoons) and not be faced with hard decisions. So drinking is fine.

You can also take an overbview and concider which would be better - a world where some people drink or a world where no-one drinks, pretty easy no-brainer however pissed you are.
