Drinking is never an excuse for bad behavior of any sort, although it often provides an EXPLANATION for behavior, but an explanation is not an excuse. An excuse shows that something is not really my fault, but if you do something stupid because of drinking, it is still just as much your fault because you are still responsible for what happens. In other words, drinking is used as an excuse, but it is not actually an excuse. It is a form of what philosophers call inauthentic life, which means avoiding taking responsibility for your existential freedom of choice.
I’m not sure what you want a “good excuse” for. Accidental pregnancy? Catching or spreading a disease? Losing one’s virginity? To this sort of thing all I can say is that if you take reasonable precautions but somehow something happened that was beyond your control, then I suppose that could count as an excuse (e.g., the condom had a hole in it, I was just flirting but ended up getting raped, etc.) Of course some folks will say you shouldn’t have been having sex or flirting in the first place, so it is still your fault, and they are correct to a certain extent. However, EVERYTHING we do in life comes with some risk. When you get in the car to go see a movie, for example, you put yourself, your passengers, and everyone else who is driving on the road at some risk. But if you drive reasonably safe, we do not really blame people for taking these risks. The same can be said for sex. If you play reasonably safe, no one can justifiably say that you were immoral for “getting in trouble” of some sort if an accident happens because, as everyone knows, accidents can happen even when we are trying to be safe. Simply taking a shower can be fatal if you happen to slip and fall in a certain way. There can be many rewards for sex, including increased intimacy, and certain forms of spiritual exploration, along with the obvious giving and receiving of pleasure. It is a matter of personal values whether or not the rewards outweigh the risks.
If you take a look at my answers, you will find that I have written a LOT about the philosophy of sex and sexuality, including a great deal about the links between sexuality and spirituality.

Age: 13 intercourse: F a million. somebody who could continuously be there for you. somebody who could continuously arise for you (In rational circumstances a minimum of :p). somebody that could try this craziest **** with you. 2. they are hyper-ness. Their honesty. the incontrovertible fact that they convenience me while i'm in a undesirable temper. And the actuality they pull me by using lots. Oh and how they don't take issues to heavily to the element the place drama starts off. 3. women 4.talk, draw or do exactly something extremely stupid. 5. you frequently prefer somebody so should not be lonely. It like having a husband yet with much less danger of having a midlife disaster divorce. The function they play in my existence are in simple terms people who make me sense great. 6. My closest acquaintances i'm frequently on my own with mutually as my different acquaintances we tend to be in communities of three to 4. 7. confident, these days I had lost a pair of acquaintances. i presumed the concern became that I extremely have replaced lots in a undesirable way and that they only have been given uninterested in me. It became that they replaced extra as a replace of in simple terms me. some the place going with extra boys mutually as some had became into means hungry social climbers. Thank god of the few acquaintances I nevertheless ought to cajole me this.

Sometimes friendship between a male and a female turns to love with sex following quickly.
Or at least they both think it was love. Often times it was nothing more than lust and convenience.

No excuses...just in the mood and need someone. Who can you trust?.....usually a friend. I believe that's very popular today: Friends with privileges.
