I carry for self defense, so I try to avoid anything that would slow down my situational awareness and reaction time…after all, my reaction time ain’t all that great anymore

That also applies to things like cough medicine, pain killers, etc. They can all slow you down…

But, I don’t have any problem with the idea of me carrying with a bad cold and taking cough medicine, so I wouldn’t have a problem with carrying after 1 or 2 beers. I just choose not to since the beer is truly voluntary. I’m not worried about getting stopped for intoxication since I doubt that would happen after 1 or 2 beers…it’s the reduction in reaction speed that’s important to me.

Now I don’t care if other folks have a few drinks and carry, or cough medicine, or any other legal substance as long as they are not mentally impaired, I just choose not to.
