If a person is SO drunk that they CANNOT give consent (i.e. they don't understand what is going on, they can't speak, run or fight, etc.) and the other person has sex with them knowing that they can't give consent or say no, then yes, it's rape.
What if the person under 16 wants to have sex? Under the law, a person under the age of 16 may not consent to having sexual intercourse or unnatural sexual intercourse.. Therefore anyone who has sex with a person under 16 does so without that person's consent. It is rape. Even if a person under 16 says yes, having sex with a person under 16 is a crime.
