By the same token, this guy is seeking out people who are drunk, very purposefully. He’s going to bars, clubs, spring breaks events, because he people are intoxicated. So, it’s not like they are coming to him. If a drunk person walked onto a car lot and sought out a car to buy, I’d see your point. If a car dealership went to a spring break night club, and started trying to get people to sign paperwork to buy a car, that’s still okay to you? A contract is a meeting of the minds. Someone seeking out people who can’t do that properly damages all contract law.

I get your point, but they may not be drunk. You are assuming they can’t make rational decisions. Plenty of people can have a drink or two and still make rational decisions, even if they later regret making those decisions.

Regret doesn’t mean a free pass out of a contract.

He was actually targeting hot girls that had been drinking. But just drinking alone to me doesn’t mean a contract they enter into is invalid. Because what is “drunk”is different for everyone and why are they not responsible for what they do when they voluntarily drink, they are consciously drinking. If they drive and kill someone we don’t let them go because they were drunk. Consequences. How’s one person to know when the other can’t legally enter into a contract? Two girls can drink the same but one gets drunk and the other doesn’t. Or the one acting wild only had one drink and her BAC is legal, but another quiet girl has had 4 drinks but her BAC is over the limit.

These girls made stupid choices because they chose to drink a lot. But there are consequences to being stupid. It’s one thing if someone tries to get them hammered to take advantage but if they are totally willing to drink and act stupid and someone takes advantage of them and they stupidly go along with it, I think the contract ought to stand.
