Loki:
But I thought it's the men that get to know each other by drinking together? :D

We have extensive proof that Marten doesn't take advantage of drunk women. Claire doesn't know that history but it's intriguing that she accurately sized up Marten.

Although, Marten has tried to, while drunk, take advantage of sober women. Well, at least one woman. (FAYE used PUNCH! It's super effective!)
Loki:
I'd argue that that, while very douchey, doesn't really count as "taking advantage". More like "being aggressively bitter and demanding". Or, you know, "running into a fist".
bhtooefr:
I did say that he tried, not that he actually did.
(MARTEN used GUILT TRIP. It's not very effective...)
Mr_Rose:

I can't blame her for that response, I would have had a similar one. Probably with an expletive thrown in, cos... well, I do that a lot.

That's pretty much how I read it too.
As for Clinton's attitude, I reckon he's partially confused, on a largely subconscious level, by the fact that she only became a sister (to his knowledge, not necessarily to hers) a short while ago which kind of makes her a younger sister of a sort. From a certain point of view etc.

As for this… remember that there are additional facts that make a repeat of that terrible performance unlikely; specifically his history with Faye, his depression, his resentment of Angus, and the even larger quantity of alcohol consumed without moderation by food. None of those applied with Claire at the wedding so there's basically no chance he'd turn on her like that.
