Can someone explain the way intoxication works, either legally or ethically?
To be passed out and incapable of saying anything at all is clearly a case for rape. But to willfully drink untill drunk, and remain conscious, and then have advances made on you and neither saying No or discouraging it in anyway... well, to take a look at potential double standards (I say potential because I honestly don't know how this is viewed in the law) if I get drunk and hit a cop, I'm still gonna go down for assaulting an officer in spite of my being "in no state of mind to be making any decisions."
Ethically it's clearly wrong to take advantage of somebody significantly impaired, but she could be trying to tell you something about her pre-intoxication decision making when she says not to confront them about it.
