When you're drunk you can still give consent, because being drunk doesn't take away your agency. It's not like when you get drunk you have absolutely no control over your actions. The only time that's the case is when you're black out drunk (mentally incapacitated). Which everyone agrees that's "too drunk to consent". People who think being drunk and giving consent to sex is rape, are wrong, and that will never change because it's absolutely not rape.
One does not need to be "black out drunk" to be mentally incapacitated. It doesn't take nearly that amount to cause people to lose their logical functions and often make decisions they would not have made otherwise. This is why it is illegal to even be in public while intoxicated.
