I don\'t think it\'s the level of intoxication per se that invalidates consent. Getting drunk with the intent of getting laid by someone you\'ve never met before is pretty common collegiate behavior, though I personally wish it wasn\'t. I wouldn\'t call the people who participate in that sort of thing rapists, unless the victim was past the point of communicating coherently, which does not seem to be the case in the trope description.

The relevant thing, I believe, is that Bob \\\'\\\'knows\\\'\\\' Alice, and knows for certain that this is unusual behavior for her, meaning he can reasonably expect her to regret the decision. I\\\'m not sure I\\\'d call that \\\"rape\\\" either, but it\\\'s some kind of immoral behavior.
