Men who have sex with drunken women in the United Kingdom may be found guilty of rape under proposals, which could be announced as early as next month in the Queen's speech.
At present, women are deemed to be capable of consenting to sex as long as they are not so drunk that they are unconscious, Sunday Times recalls.
However, under the proposals, it will be up to juries to decide whether the woman was sober enough to know what she was doing.
The move would have huge implications for couples who have sex after getting drunk, placing a heavy responsibility on the man to ensure that the woman was fully conscious of her actions.
It raises the possibility that even if a woman agreed to sex while drunk, a jury could rule that she had been too inebriated to give meaningful consent, The Sunday Times comments.
