Actually, if it's an explicit exchange, it might technically be treated as prostitution. Who would prosecute it, though?

Sure, if the man says, "Have sex with me and I'll give you this keg of beer," and she does it, it's prostitution.

However, the phraseology of the question ensures that it can be interpreted in many different ways. Does this mean that if a man buys a woman several drinks and she gets drunk and sleeps with him, it's rape? The feminists would say that if she regrets it, it was.

Not necessarily, but it is rape if the woman becomes unconscious and it can get pretty ambiguous if the woman gets close to that state. The issue remains the same - consent - and a woman who passes out cannot be said to have consented to anything.

If she's so drunk and cannot give proper consent, perhaps so.
