If are able to consent to getting drunk, your choices and situations are yours to deal with.
To a point, but if someone is that intoxicated that they don't know what they are doing, they are not able to consent to anything. Same as being asleep.
The point is, if your can't control your self, don't start drinking at all, that is why people need to be held accountable. You're saying (Hypothetical) it wasn't my fault I got drunk, and got some woman pregnant? It is still my child! I don't have to be like any other lousy man and walk away from that type of ordeal. I'd raise the kid myself if I had to. (hypothetical) Obviously this is useless trying to explain, and a pointless effort as well.
I think that what you're saying makes a lot of sense, actually.
It is perhaps written in a slightly confusing way, but what you are saying still makes a lot of sense I reckon.
I think you're saying something similar to what I was, maybe (although I didn't explain it very well) ... in that that there really should be some means of preventing people from drinking so much alcohol that they become unable to have sentient thought ; or to control their ability to function as a coherent human being.... and that people ought to be held accountable for their actions whether they have chosen to be under the influence of some sort of drug (such as alcohol) or not.... since it's entirely their own choice whether to take such mind-altering substance, in the first place.
Perhaps a law against it would be totally un-enforcable.... but perhaps there should be some kind of heavy social stigma against getting into such a state in public ?
