Actually, I just took the bar so I know this, and generally if a man is drunk he can't be a rapist because rape is a specific intent crime, and drunk people can't form mens rea.

Wow, so if a man rapes someone while drunk, he can't be charged at all? (Let's assume in this case that the victim was not drunk.)
