This is already law in some states.  Its also how they compile some of the more ridiculous rape statistics.

I can see that in some cases that it would be rape.  But hardly all of them.

Having sex with a drunk person is never rape and you are a fucking retard if you believe that.

Raping a drunk person is rape.

The government tried this in 2002 and 2007 and each time judges overturned it on the basis of it being utterly stupid.

Naturally, This Is London doesn't mention that, because anything beyond a Wikipedia search is not within the skills of their "journalists".  Hooray for free papers!

Well if someone is unconscious or so drunk they are incoherent, then, you can't really consent. And if the dude is sober, well... thats out of line, and probably should constitute an offence.

A decent person doesn't take advantage of a heavily intoxicated person.

However i can see the potential for abuse by some women.

I'm cookin' with gas. I've gotta handful of vertebrae and a headful of mad. Yeah. That's your spinal cord. Baby. Dig it. Who's the man? I'm the man. I'm a bad man. How bad? Real bad. I'm a 12.0 on the 10.0 scale of badness.

Are they ever going to release season two? I suppose it doesn't matter considering the whole series peaked in the first twelve issues of the original comic's run. CSV FTW.

  WHO ARE THEY TO TELL ME IVE BEEN RAPED

Our college campus has similar policies, except they don't actually do bloodwork.  But then, it's part of an abstinence-only sex ed program so the purpose is to scare people out of having sex in the first place.

I agree that if someone is too intoxicated to consent, then something is wrong.  But you can't just put a number on it and define after the fact what constitutes competence to consent based purely on blood alcohol levels.
