Low standards!
I'm amazed at how low the standards of some of the men who post here. Their desire to defend the right to behave in a really scummy way, and then say, Gosh, I didn't know she was drunk/well under the age of consent.
Let's look at the facts, if you don't know the woman well, you are almost certainly meeting her in a public place, where there are witnesses who can testify as to whether or not she looked too drunk/too young. So, all you have to have is the judgement of an average guy. If you're way too plastered to know what judgement is, not to mention consent, don't have sex (and don't drive).
Trouble comes when guys start thinking, yeah, she looks a little drunk/young but I might get away with it. If he doesn't, guess what? Not many women will have much sympathy for him and the jury might not either.
So, either raise your standards or start thinking realistically about the circumstances in which these situations occur.
