Though I do expect one of his buddies to try and fall on this grenade for him.

Whoa.
While I'm certainly not excusing what he did because he was drunk, there is absolutely no way you can even put this in the same stratosphere as date rape or sexual assault. Give your head a shake. An orbital bone will heal in due time, the scars of rape/sexual assault last a lifetime. I understand you're trying to make a point that alcohol isn't an excuse, but that is just a ridiculously terrible comparison.
I would easily forgive my friend/brother/father if they sucker punched some guy in the face. I would never forgive them if they date raped or sexually assaulted someone. The difference between those actions is larger than words can express.
My point is that if someone feels being drunk is an excuse for a sucker punch (which I certainly don't), you cannot say they have to agree that its also an excuse for rape/sexual assault.
