- Besides that, if she's drunk, you do not have any way of knowing where she's
- been and with whom.

- There is a name for this line of reasoning; it is called "being a gentleman."
-
- A good example of this is from the movie "The Philadelphia Story," when
- Jimmy Stuart explains to Katharine Hepburn why he didn't sleep with her
- the night before: "You were very attractive. But you were also the
- worse, or the better, for wine, and there are rules about those
- things."
-
- But that movie is is from the 40's; we all know that such sentiments are
- extremely outdated and completely worthless, don't we? [sarcasm off]
