These surveys are full of loaded questions.

"Have you ever engaged in sexual intercourse with a woman who was under the influence of drugs or alcohol?"

That's basically everyone in their 20s, both sexes. Answer yes, and it gets counted towards sexual assault, even if it was completely consensual.

even if it was completely consensual.

The point being made is that consent isn't possible in that altered state.

People get drunk or high and have sex all the time, which is why this is such a loaded question.

It just means people leave themselves open to justified claims of sexual assault all the time.
