The section I quoted does not involve "two persons are shitfaced and incapable of consenting". Read it once more.
"All aside from the legal question, there's also the question, in the Alice and Bob thought experiment, regardless of whether Alice is guilty of raping Bob (assume that Bob was inebriated and couldn't give consent, and she knew that Bob was drunk), should Bob be faulted for putting him into a situation where he was so drunk that he couldn't take responsibility for himself?"
It does not say that Alice is drunk. It in fact explicitly states that Alice knows Bob is not capable of consenting to the sex, which if you understand Ted's position, means Alice is _not_ drunk (because Ted stated elsewhere that he thinks if Alice _is_ drunk, she is not capable of determining Bob's consent).
The statement to which I am drawing attention is _not about two people being drunk_. It is about _one_ person being drunk.
