Even if your partner is wearing what you think of as sexy clothes, this does not necessarily imply a desire for sex. Again, it is your responsibility to seek clear, explicit signals from your partner, and to respect your partner's wishes at all times. Alcohol and Consent Alcohol impairs your ability to make rational decisions and to understand the consequences of your actions. It can cause a failure to perceive and respect a partner's wishes to limit or stop sexual activity. Intoxication is, however, no excuse for not respecting a partner's wishes.
Intoxication provides no excuse and no legal defense in cases of rape and sexual coercion.
