The latest estimate cited is 3% of false rape allegations.
Well, that's the best we can do: estimate this number from various assumptions. We can't know better than police which allegations are false and which is not, and police doesn't have a 100% proof in most cases either.
I didn't, but I saw these numbers referenced by googling. To see the full study, you need access to it, which university researchers typically have.
Because people like you, and like in the link, exist.

The relevant study you are quoting is a report from the UK justice, whatever, and it has a range, not a singular number, the range being 3-9%.
Do note that 9%.

When two people are completely wasted and they fuck, who is to blame? Who is the victim? Can they both get charges?
What I see as a problem is the inconsistency being presented. If intoxication can't be grounds for consent, surely it must go both ways? So if the man is drunk he can't be held any more responsible than the woman.
