On today's episode I am confronting the topic of alcohol and consent. I am introducing my thoughts around it, and I will continue to bring to light the mindsets society is taught which leads to abusive situations. Because it happens way too often where the phrase, "Can I buy you a drink," turns into the person trying to have sex with you, and I am here to use my voice to say that this is not okay! Everyone deserves to experience pleasure, but in a completely safe and consensual way.

Key takeaways:

• ANY level of intoxication is not a means for consent.
• If you wouldn't do it sober, you shouldn't be doing it. If you would do it sober, then just wait until you and the other person are.
• Alcohol is designed to inhibit the mind, conscious logical thinking. 
• It is illegal to drive with an alcohol blood content over .08%, because we are not all mentally there after drinking alcohol, so why is it normalized for it to be "okay" to pursue sex AFTER the other person has been drinking?
