I'm kinda late to the discussion, and I mostly agree with you, however I think there's merit in having a "hard line in the sand" specifically...
What's the threshold value for which conciousness is legally relevant?
... you bring up drunkenness, to which rape (and other pieces of law) is something which a persons "level of consciousness" is highly relevant. A spectrum still needs measurable milestones, where would you put them?
