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.

At the very worst, he made a bad joke while drunk. Given that later on in the same episode, he asks for Emma's consent twice, despite being far too drunk to consent to sex himself. If you are going to use an episode to bash a character, at least watch the whole episode.

Also funny how you pick up and rage about that line, but not about Emma sexually assaulting Hook in that very scene. I guess rape is only bad when it's being done by a character you dislike, am I right?

It's been 4 years, can we make like Elsa and let it go?

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.
