It's all well and good to focus on your right of self defense. But the reality is that if you defend yourself after consuming alcohol, there is no way to guarantee that the alcohol won't be a factor. In fact, since a big part of deciding the question of whether or not your use of force was justified will depend on your credibility, an assessment of your judgment, and the reliability of your perception, it's hard to imagine it not being a factor. Just the way it is in the real world, and it's up to you to decide how to handle that reality. You pays your money and you takes your chance.
