Agreed. We had a similar situation in my town a few years back. The homeowner shot and killed a drunken intruder in the middle of the night. It turned out to be a drunk college student who didn’t know where they were. The homeowner was charged, but later acquitted by a jury.

I was glad to hear the jury agreed that the action was appropriate.

Drinking to excess has consequences, including death. Either from liver failure or lead poisionong.
