Well I chose that example because I wanted to show how the same excuse of being too drunk to consent could be used as an argument to get away with doing something really bad.
In your example, if you did have sex with that drunken person, even knowing that they may not remember or would regret it, then I still wouldn't regard that as rape. I'm not defending it though. It would still be disgusting alright, and it astounds me as well that many people would go through with this. But I still couldn't call it rape.
Well "No" means "No". It doesn't matter if they say it in a drunken stammer or not. Pretending you didn't hear it or not taking it seriously because it was barely comprehensible isn't good enough. It's still rape if the person still has sex with them after they said "No".
I don't agree with the idea of being too drunk to consent
