This kind of reminded me of this idea I heard once that drunken sex is never truly consensual sex because a drunk person can't really give consent, but I don't necessarily agree with that...
It's not simply an idea. In a number of places, it's the law that consent cannot be gotten from someone who's drunk. And the reasoning behind that is not that hard to understand. After all, we recognize that driving while drunk is dangerous because one's reflexes and cognitive abilities are impaired. Sex while drunk is likewise problematic.
But of course we're talking about the difference between laws in RL and conventions in fanfic here, and this discussion of dub-con begins with the acknowledgment that fiction is fantasy and thus doesn't have to fall within the rules and laws of RL even if we recognize the rules and laws in RL are there for a very good reason.
