Umm...that's creepy. It's not a fine line at all. When a woman gets drunk, it's because she's making the CHOICE to get drunk by downing beer or shots. When a guy date-rapes a girl, he drugs her drink and then has his way with her *helpless* body.

I agree that it's her choice to get drunk, but I think it is "rape" if she's so wasted she doesn't know where she is and the guy has sex with her. If she is just "lying there" then she's not really consented either.

I can't tell which is the worst, most sickening part about this: the fact that it's an actual shirt someone thought of, the fact that Amazon is carrying it, or the fact that some people actually will think this is funny. It's all three.
I agree with Cherryh and Sarah; yes, it may be her choice to get drunk, but if you know anything about alcohol and its' effects on the brain, then you know that it changes your normal behaviors, especially MEMORY and JUDGEMENT. So even if a girl consents under the influence, that doesn't mean men should go ahead. There's no fine line. Use your brain, not your... ya know.

lol i honestly don't even know how to reply to that.. because nothing you said even touched on what i said. so "nice try."
First, I never said anything about a girl being able to do whatever she wanted.
Second, when I'm talking about the girl's judgement, I'm referring back to the shirt which more than implies that the man's judgement is very clear... It was my fault for not expanding on that.
Third, I never blamed anyone. I said that doesn't mean the man should go ahead. What I mean by that is, just because a woman says yes, doesn't mean men HAVE to do it...

Bottom line is it's a detestable t-shirt. Should it pulled... no. Should society let it be acceptable if worn... no. Freedom of speech is a grey area.
