Thanks for covering this. I've theoretically considered the rape of a drunk girl still rape of course, but had a lot of trouble applying that standard to myself.
I've been in a situation where I've got drunk fast (didn't eat enough, it just HIT me) and I don't remember a thing of this sex I apparently had. If I was too drunk to walk properly and remember I assume that's too drunk to consent.
Reading such a clear article on this matter has made me think about this, which is something I've avoided thinking about too much in the past.
So truly: thank you, for reminding me of my convictions and helping me realise that these standards apply to ME too.

Knowledge of rape whether it be tracking down the rapist or tracking down the drug that caused the rape produces results for the victims. And it is for the victims that we should advocate, regardless of source. If the rapist is caught then victims (she/he) have means to convict the rapist. But if a drug is the only source to connect the rape/robbery, then victims only have their last memory, help from others to piece together a possibility of occurrences, or testing within hours to report a crime. This last example makes it very hard to report, thus, many rapes and robberies,
to the glee of thugs, go undetected and unreported. A RAPE IS A RAPE and A ROBBERY IS A ROBBERY whether done under consciousness or drug induced. On Halloween my son and his roomie were victims of drug-spiked drinks in an Ohio bar. My son was taken, beat up, and robbed. That same night a person that I work with was a victim of a spiked-drink in a Portland bar; fortunately, for her she got help. While at a college party, my Niece's drink was spiked. Another person I work with was a victim of a spiked-drink after boat-rafting. These people all reported having one to two drinks when they lost their memory. It does not matter how often these occurrences happen, but rather that they do happen and that deranged people are enjoying their freedoms while the victims and their families are traumatized because of helplessness: there is no memory, yet Victims know that something did happen. What a scary feeling for them. It seems that you might be in denial thinking that is happens less than more. Just ask the women across-seas and in the USA whose lives have changed forever because of being drugged by spiked-drinks and involuntarily trafficked to a life of sex-slave.
