It's an analogy, not an argument I'm making. Please point to one article, or media source, or anything at all where people are on record as saying that drunkenness is an excuse for rape. There is value in determining where crime happens, and then telling potential victims of that crime how to best avoid it. Telling girls not to get fall down drunk at parties, because there are a lot of perverts in the world does not let perverts off the hook. It merely takes away a degree of freedom in the complex system. I don't know how you could possibly read my above comment and think that I was suggesting that rapes most commonly happen by strangers at night.
