Can you consent if you've been drinking?

Everyone’s tolerance is different, so alcohol doesn’t affect people the same way. One person might feel fine, while someone else has already lost the ability to think clearly or communicate properly.

It’s not that every situation involving alcohol is automatically non-consensual, but it's important to pay attention to the signs that you or your partner can't actually consent anymore. If someone seems off, unsure or not fully present, that’s a sign to pause. You can always check in another time when you're both sober. Consent should be clear and mutual from both people, not guessed.
