Presume you meant asinine, but I have no idea as to which "party" or which "idiot" you're referencing.

To be clear, drunken regret implies two things.
(1) The individual was drunk, aka unable to consent.
(2) The individual is uncomfortable with what occurred, i.e., retrospectively claims no sober consent would have been given.

So what is our asinine legal and college campus predisposition in these instances?
What is our "rape culture" predisposition toward a male in circumstances where a sexual encounter took place, but in which the female subsequently claims to have been drunk, unable to consent, and files charges?

Guilty until proven innocent!

Disagree. They consented, they just regretted the consent once they sobered up.

If alcohol is considered a get-out-of-responsibility-free card for consent to drunken sex, we should make it work that way for any crime.

DUI? I was too drunk to realize I was consenting to driving a vehicle therefore I shouldn't be charged.

Murder? I was too drunk to consenting to stabbing someone 137 times so therefore I shouldn't be charged.

It's a ridiculous argument they are trying to make.
