Meaning I have 1 to 2 drinks, that you were not able to consent. Anything that shows this? I have checked AR 600-20 and some SHARP policies and have found no exact information on it.<br /><br />(Update) Received more information from my SHARP instructor and he stated that it is actually unit based. A way that they can mitigate any issues that may resolve from alcohol. <br /><br />If anyone has more information regarding this, would be awesome!

Hope this helps and be responsible.

My advice is usually a lot less sympathetic. I have never understood why some men spend an excessive amount of time trying to figure out if &quot;no means yes.&quot; Just move on - it&#39;s not worth it. Today&#39;s dating rituals are not easier or harder than they were 30-40 years ago - just different. It really doesn&#39;t have to be a mystery. Don&#39;t take the chance.
