Of course. That one was inebriated is not a defense to an intentional and unquestionably deviant act. On the second point, how does one argue a passed out person consents? If you aren't awake, consent is impossible. Similarly, an utterly smashed person cannot consent. If you're out of your mind loaded, you don't have the necessary capacity. (I know this appears to contradict the previous statement that inebriation is not a defense to sexual assault allegations. I don't think that's the case. Doing something deviant and violent is always intentional, while acquiescing to sex while pasted is not necessarily intentional.)
