Anyone who tries to define your experience for you with regard to whether or not you were raped needs to mind their own business.

Sex and alcohol when the person drinking is still awake and lucid is a fuzzy situation, and whether or not rape occurs depends on a number of contextual factors. It's similar to the way people in established relationships don't necessarily need an explicit, verbal "yes" for every sexual encounter, because they know one another's nonverbal cues - which they have probably explicitly discussed ahead of time. Consensual, enthusiastic sex between two married partners who do not explicitly say, "Hey honey, feel like a quickie this morning?" is not the same as marital rape.

Similarly, a number of mitigating factors can push a drunken sexual encounter in "more consensual" or "less consensual" directions. Did the drunk person plan or agree to have sex with their partner before they started drinking? More consensual. Did the sexual partner pressure the drunk person to consume more alcohol than they were comfortable drinking in the hope of getting them to agree to sex? Less consensual.

Alcohol impairs judgment. That's simply one of the symptoms of alcohol intoxication. Having sex with someone whose judgment is impaired is questionable in terms of consent, which is why the "when in doubt, don't" philosophy is encouraged with regard to sex with drunk people. That doesn't mean that it's impossible for you or someone else to have consensual sex while drunk, just that it's important for your partner(s) to be a lot more careful about establishing consent.
