Here is Assistant District Attorney Susan Caswell setting the record straight. One more time guys, stay away from drunk women. And if you go anywhere near a woman who vomits, you’re the one who is sick.
This is one of the most important cases in this database because here we have actual physical evidence of what happens when women drink too much, whether or not alcohol is mixed with drugs, be they recreational or prescription.
Check out in particular the following entries:
Michael Irvin – the third false allegation on this page.
Amanda Barrow – on this page.
And the ACPO report on this page.
To recap, women do not have the same capacity for imbibing alcohol as men, not that men should get stoned out of their heads either.
What can and often does happen is that a woman can appear to be totally sober and in control, but her short term memory does not translate into long term memory.
As in the above case, this can lead to a woman recovering fragmented memories (flashbacks) days, months, years, or even decades later. These memories are often incomplete, and without extremely strong corroboration, totally unreliable.
