Legal consent in criminal law and legal consent for contracts are two different things. It's like you haven't even read § 1-201 of the UCC...geeez! (/s on that last part if it wasn't clear)
They both derive from the standard and have been interpreted differently given the different contexts and applications. For the purposes of this conversation about the poster, they're similar enough to make the point. I'm not bringing suit, I'm trying to explain why legal consent and intoxication bear on one another in a court.
