In this episode, I talk about the complicated topic of alcohol and consent and how intoxication affects a person’s ability to truly give consent. The discussion was sparked by a story I heard on another podcast where someone described being intentionally over-served alcohol by another person who wanted to hook up with them. It raised the question of when someone is actually able to consent and whether situations like that cross the line into taking advantage of someone.
I share my thoughts on how consent becomes much more complex when alcohol or drugs are involved, why it’s always safer to assume someone who is heavily intoxicated cannot consent, and how the same standards should apply regardless of gender. I also touch on how addiction can complicate consent even further and why it’s important to approach situations like this with empathy, responsibility, and caution.
