So your position is: 1) You can never give consent while drunk. 2) It only counts as rape if someone is accused and convicted in court and 3) Although you can't consent while drunk, it is okay to have sex with people who have consented while sober. Am I understanding you right?

There are some holes that one could poke in this view, but it's an interesting one and I thank you for sharing it. It's good that we can have these conversations even though we disagree.
