This is the paragraph that stood out most to me:
"Despite the position taken by the appeal cases, above, what line do the courts take in practice in respect of loss of capacity through drink? In 2017 barrister, and former policewoman and solicitor, Cathy McCulloch \*advised men against having sex with a woman who has had even one drink**. This was based on her 34 years of experience, including as both a defence and a prosecution barrister in rape trials, and so suggests that this draconian line on a woman’s capacity to consent does occur in practice, and perhaps not uncommonly. McCulloch warns that “the mixture of alcohol and sex can be toxic. It can give a criminal record to even the most lovely person who would never deliberately do anything to hurt anyone, let alone knowingly commit the evil act of rape”."*
