Waking up after a bender and realizing one has been raped is awful, but how does that compare with waking up in jail and being informed you killed a family of 4 in a DUI wreck ?
We probably should make a continuum of consequences ranked by severity; including
waking up glued to the floor from your own dried vomit
waking up and finding out you're estranged from you family because of the scene you made
waking up and finding out you stole a city bus, and destroyed it without killing anyone
waking up in the ER and finding out you've destroyed your transplanted liver from drinking
waking up and finding out you shot up your car because it wouldn't start because in your drunken stupor you were sitting in the passenger seat
waking up in the ER and being given transfusions to replace the blood you vomited up
waking up in rehab with near fatal DTs, for the Nth time
not waking up
(I could go on for a while)

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
