Green Flag Theory

Drinking and consent

Can a drunk person consent to sex?

Red flag

She's drunk. She said yes.

Green flag

Too drunk to stand is too drunk to agree.

Wait for a sober yes.

Save the card

Why?

Not if they're very drunk. Someone who can't stand, speak clearly or understand what's happening can't give real consent, and in most US states that's the law, not just a rule of thumb. If you're not sure how drunk she is, the answer is to wait. A real yes is a sober yes. If she's into you, she'll still be into you tomorrow.
