Nope, it’s rapey, and you are forgetting the fact that a person can only give consent when sober. If someone is drunk then they don’t have the power to say yes. According to that quote anyone who asks for sex from the intoxicated person should just do it. That is rape. Lawyered!
I think you're taking it too literally, you can manipulate lots of quotes to turn them into something they weren't intended to be.
Pretty sure the quoted person wasn't promoting the rape of intoxicated people.
I think the intent was not wasting your time on being rejected by people who aren't even in a position to give you what you are asking for because they don't ever have the authority or power to grant it. That makes more sense than viewing it as an excuse to prey on people that are temporarily in a disadvantaged condition.
"The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt." -- Bertrand Russell
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
― George Bernard Shaw
“ Fearing the obstacles , worst people don't start . Mediocre people rest(or stop) when they face obstacles. Best people don't stop even if they are getting defeated by obstacles. ”
“ People may scold or praise,
Wealth may come or go,
Death may be now or Years after,
Great Person will not deviate from right path(or goal) . ”
These both were quoted by Bhartṛhari in his book Nitiśatakam (written in c. 5th century CE).
“ Don't rant that you don't have , not considering everything you have. There is always a path to happiness. ”
This one is quoted by writer D.V. Gundappa written in his book "Mankutimmana Kagga" (which is also a book of wisdom published in 1943) .

Intent matters legally to.

I prefer Eisenhower's "Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable."
I forget where I heard this. But it's helped me a lot.

Top of mind: without data and given the choice between your opinion and mine, I’ll take mine; show me the data.
On worrying: if you can do something about it, do so and don’t worry. If you can’t, don’t, and don’t worry.
World outlook: Happiness is a choice.
