Of course you can, especially if he took advantage of the drunkenness he was well aware of to get that consent from you. It's gotten people out of written contracts, you don't think it could get someone out of "I agreed to let him smash my car"?Now can I go to the police and say since I was drunk I couldn't give consent, and he should be charge with property damage?
Maybe your point is that you wouldn't charge him because he's your buddy, or that you would grit your teeth and take the blame for your stupid decision-making. But there has to be a line drawn somewhere on how much somebody can be taken advantage of legally (see: Contracts) before it's considered a crime. Seems to me like decisions about someone's body which can directly and immediately affect their health should not be decisions that we consider "OK" for other people to take advantage of, even if they did trust that person enough to spend time with them in an inebriated state.
