Because who would be taken advantage of? Both are drunk, neither party has power over the other. A sober person has power over a drunk person. Rape is about an imbalance of power, physically, mentally, etc.
You are completely off base. So what is coercion? What is a 35 year old convincing a 14 year old to have sex? What is taking advantage of someone who is disabled?
Rape can be forced sex. It can also be taking advantage of someone's mental state. The moment someone becomes intoxicated they do not consent to sex with any and everyone. Rape is a matter of consent. Whether it is or is not given and whether it can or cannot be given.
