Abstract
Most sexual assaults on college campuses involve alcohol (Muehlenhard, 2016). This study examines relationships between alcohol consumption and sexual consent. Of 435 participants, 80% agreed that if one has been drinking heavily, they cannot consent. Yet, given situational vignettes, >50% claimed valid consent when at least one partner was drinking.
