You are still responsible for your actions while drunk, if you commit a crime drunk it's still a crime.

If you give consent while drunk, it's still consent.

If someone intentionally gets someone else drunk so they'll sleep with then however, that's definitely pushing the boundaries.

A contract signed while one or both parties were drunk is in most cases not binding. Why can't the same principle apply to consent, which after all is sort of a similar thing?

Well until the law says that people that are drunk cannot give consent then it's not rape, even if it was a law does everyone have to take a breathalizer test when giving consent.

Unlike a contract sex doesn't occur over a period of time, consent is given for that particular moment only, you can cancel a contract if drunk fine, but sex has already happened, and it shouldn't be the other persons fault that the other person said they could do something and then regretted it later. There's taking advantage of someone and then there's rape, but if someone explicitly gives consent, it is consent. 

If it is rape then sex while drunk should be illegal.

You can't change your mind on consent after the act.
