You hope.
The
only reason a self-defense shooting
ever makes it to a jury is if there is some doubt about its justification. And as we all know, every self-defense shooting is clear and there's never any doubt as to its necessity.
The wise decision is to leave alcohol out of the equation. Having alcohol in your system opens the door to question your judgement. In a clean self-defense shooting, you will win your case. It's easier to be clean if you don't have anything about your person to raise any questions. Alcohol just complicates everything.
