Why it matters
Someone who is incapacitated cannot consent. Incapacitation can look like slurred speech, trouble standing, confusion about where they are, or drifting in and out.
Campus policies define incapacitation in their own terms. If you're wondering whether someone is too drunk, treat that as your answer.
