Someone might try and make a big deal out of it, but there is no law against drinking in your own home if you own firearms. If you are justified in using deadly force then that should be all there is to it. If not, then the alcohol will severely complicate things.

So then the best answer should be "if the deadly force is justified, the alcohol should not be a factor"?

I had a student ask: "If you're in your own home and had been drinking, what are the ramifications of shooting an intruder", only as it relates to the alcohol? My best answer so far is that it depends on may other factors, such as, were you threatened, however the alcohol may skew any mitigating circumstances...
