As someone who rarely, but sometimes, drinks to excess and has access to firearms I don't see a connection between being intoxicated and increased risk to others. Alcohol in the bloodstream makes reactions slow and reduce inhibitions but "thou shall not kill" remains fairly clear in my mind, lol, along with not even handling a firearm on those rare times when I'm drunk.
Is it so hard to imagine it as identical to not driving while drunk (which I don't)? I wouldn't have a problem with any elite military character (or actual person) getting drunk outside the line of duty.
