I commented this earlier, but I think it's worth commenting again: Alcohol use doesn't increase the risk that of committing a sexual offense in people who aren't likely to offend while sober. It does, however, increase the likelihood of someone committing a sexual offense if they would also commit a sexual offense sober. (Greenfield 1998) So if someone sexually assaults someone while drunk, they are likely to do it sober. They didn't lose control; they just had a lower threshold for a behavior they would already do.
