Via larryvillechronicles (from 2010), this ad is based on the old joke that sweet alcoholic drinks are "liquid panty remover."
Hey, I used to use the term too, when I was younger. But as I aged, I realized that it replied something rather ominous.
From teenadvice.about.com:
Bottom line, if a girl is intoxicated she cannot consent to sex and you could be charged with rape. It does not matter whether you knew she was intoxicated, it doesn’t matter if you were intoxicated too, all that matters is that she was not in a state of mind to consent and therefore it is rape. If you get a girl drunk or high and then “get together” with her you have committed a sexual assault. Again, it doesn’t matter if you are drunk or high as well. Your diminished abilities do not negate your responsibilities. A good rule to follow; if you are under the influence do not have sex.Obviously, there are people who get drunk together and have happy consensual sex. Like, all the time. But the idea of getting a girl/woman drunk to lower her inhibitions, specifically to sexually coerce her?
Rape. "Legitimate" rape. Whatever Todd Akin says.
I think too many people conflate 'drunk sex' with 'pleasantly buzzed but still able to make decisions and consider actions' sex. The latter? Tons of fun. The former, generally not a good idea, except maybe in the context of a long-term relationship with good communication.
