The line is "if I did not know better, I would say you were trying to get me drunk, which is usually my tactic". He does not mention who he gets drunk, or what he gets them drunk for. So already your point is on very shaky foundations.

Now onto the whole context of the scene. Hook was already seduced by Emma, and she was stalling by getting him drunk. He would not need to suspect that she was getting him drunk for sex, as he was already consenting. Therefore the whole line becomes "If I didn't know better, I'd say you weren't trying to have sex with me, you were trying to get me drunk". So no, he does not admit to raping women. He may get people drunk to get them to pay the tab, for information, to steal from them, to bribe someone etc. Look at the context though. Emma is flirting with past Hook when he says it. The fact Hook says the line to someone who is flirting with him is what leads me to believe he was refferring to intercourse. But Hook had already consented, so he would have no need to suspect she is getting him drunk.

Hook would mean in this context "If I didn't know better, I'd say you were not trying to have sex with me, you were getting me drunk for another purpose, which is usually my tactic".

The line is incredibly vague even without the context it's in. That's like if you heard me say "I could kill her right now" and immediately accused me of premediated murder.

In that scene, and the very next scene, he asks Emma's consent TWICE even though he is too drunk to consent himself.
