This is great as a platitude (and probably a good way to live your life), but it implicitly draws a proximate causal link between "passing out on the couch" and "dude raping you" when applied to the specific situation, which is clearly not your intention.
I'm sure women who pass out at parties are more likely to be raped. That's because rape is largely a crime of opportunity (like nearly every crime), and not because of the bad decisions made by the woman. The causal link runs the opposite direction of the platitude.
