My friend got beyond drunk one night and this girl who wasnt drunk somehow got him to do somethings that he completely regrets, would he be able to file rape, since he wasnt able to make the right decisions?

Yes, but it will be very hard to prove. Rape laws almost always go against the guy because it is assumed that he has the ability to force the woman and not the other way around. When your friend goes to the D.A. and claims that she took advantage of him and caused him to have sexual relations against his will, they will probably laugh at him and say they wish they had that problem.
When the girl is confronted with the charges against her, she will deny them and claim that he was a willing participant. There will be virtually no way to prove otherwise.
A man doesn't climax unless the libido is turned on. Unless he has a handful of witnesses that will testify that they saw her take advantage of you, I think your friend will have to learn a lesson from this, namely stay away from the alcohol.
I hope she didn't get pregnant from this event. If she did, then your friend will have at least 18 years of support payments to regret his drunken fling.

Of course he can, but, as with anything, it would all come down to whether he could prove it. One question would be, he regrets it now, but did he agree to it in the first place? Clearly, saying no would be the ideal situation. If he said yes, then he would have a difficult time proving he didn't mean it or that he was so drunk he didn't remember giving permission. Clearly, he remembers the act, so it would be questionable that he was so drunk he wasn't capable of giving permission. Bottom line, did the girl truly FORCE him to do something he did not want to do?

If he said no, then she raped him, it doesn't matter if she had sex with him, because a man might not want to, say no but his equipment is like WHOOHOO time to play. if he vocalized that he did not want to do sexual things, and she continued then yes he can file, I doubt that it would be rape, probably a lesser charge of sexual misconduct. But if he did not say NO, and he just regrets it then they will say that he was intoxicated and that it doesn't count.... BUT they are now trying men who get women drunk but your friend would have to prove that he was an unwilling participant and that it wasn't just a case of beer googles. To file Rape under those circumstances would probably not fly, she wasn't drunk you said, but unless she was stone sober and knew exactly what she was doing I doubt that she would get convicted.

Girls get drunk and do things they regret all the time and I hardly think they could get away with a rape charge. I don't care how drunk you are, unless you're unconscious, you are a consenting adult who has to take responsibility for your actions.

answer to your question is right there. He regrets it. Which means at the time he was okay with it. So no.

He could try.....but the ridicule he'd receive would be hard to take. He has to ask himself if it's worth it.

"Regretting" it is one thing,
being over-powered and forced is another entirely!!
I doubt it was rape.

If he didn't consent then I don't see why he couldn't.
