The next morning when this person was sober, he sorely regretted what he had done the night before. Under the current national trend had he been a woman he could have accused the other person involved of date rape. However as it was he just shook it off and tried not to get that drunk again. The point is that he accepted the fact that even though he was drunk, he was still responsible for his actions. If he didn't want to be responsible for his actions when he was drunk, he shouldn't have been drinking in the first place.
Date rape does happen and it is definitely a prevalent problem in our society.
However, we need to remember that women need to be held as accountable for their actions as much as men. Certainly there are many cases in which the woman had no control over her situation, but if she consented when she was drunk then she is still responsible for her actions.
