204. Not true...
You say the following:

"Previously, if someone was completely drunk to the point they didn't know what was going on and couldn't legally give consent, it would be legal to have sex with them, provided they had consumed nothing but alcohol."

That is utter bullshit. In no state is it legal to have sex with someone without consent, that is RAPE. In Wisconsin, if a person was intoxicated on alcohol and nothing else, sex with that person is considered legal IF the person consents. The law is trying to change this so that a person can consent while drunk, then withdraw their consent after the fact and accuse the person of rape. This is an extremely dangerous slippery slope, and innocent people are going to suffer for it.
