It does prohibit people from drinking in their own houses, yes. The US is (somewhat) unique in that in many places, consuming alcohol is a criminal act, as well as purchasing it. The reality of how things work is that one person is able to get their hands on lots of alcohol, either through fake ID, or an older friend, and they throw parties, usually in a private place without sober supervision (eg, usually either in a woods or park, or in somebody's home when the parents are out of town). If adults want to get drunk in the UK, you know where they can go? To a pub or bar. Filled with sober barmen, waitresses, and security guards, and a much higher marginal cost-per-drink (simple economics dictates that this will result in less binging). But, don't ask me, ask the three states that will attempt to lower the drinking age this year: New Hampshire, Minnesota, and California |
I'm ignorant of US law so please show me where it's forbbiden that minor drink in home... and if they can stop you from drinking alone in your house how can't they stop people drinking in a party that is blatantly obvious is happening.

Women only style clubs are an outlier and they do get challenged in court. But do we stop at trying to change society just because they can now work out by themselves? Violent crime against men isn't being ignored. Nor should we ignore women's issues just because men attack other men. That's like saying we should ignore what's going on in Indiana because there is already a different problem in Montana.
Naturally I do not want an environment free of self regulation and security. Not exactly sure how you concluded I did. That said, you fail to understand that her inability to consent due to not being conscient isn't an automatic consent nor does not being conscient absolve the rapist from guilt. Further, how many other crimes are deemed non-crimminal on the grounds of being inebriated? In fact, that usually ascerbates the charges. Assault charges aren't dropped just because the assailant was drunk. |
Yes, you want the law to solve all the problems, you don't want people to take care of their regulation you want to artifically remove risks.
So for you it's no double standard to say both being equally inebriated and having no violence involved a girl is the victm and the man a rapist? For real?
