Correct answer.
The real problem is not with the slowdown of motor functions...........this only affects the individual if he must use the firearm...........highly unlikely at a social function.
The issue with the alcohol is that it impairs judgment. Somewhere along the way, the decision must be made to use the firearm...........and if sufficient alcohol is consumed, that decision is likely to be the wrong one.
