This situation isn’t comparable to consenting adults meeting at a bar. Providing drugs and alcohol to “entice” women into having sex is predatory behavior, whether or not the women partake consensually or not. Play devil’s advocate if you want, but I don’t think that behavior deserves defending/rationalizing/whatever you want to call it.
No, I’ve never employed the aid of drugs or alcohol to obtain enthusiastic consent before engaging in sexual activity with any of my partners. If there’s no enthusiastic consent, I do not pursue sexual activity. Using drugs or alcohol as an aid in acquiring enthusiastic consent is predatory.

So you’ve never asked a romantic interest or Tinder date to have drinks? Because the moment you pay the bill, how is what you’re doing any different?
