It's not a justification for actions, but it gives insight into the reason behind them. I've done things when I was drunk that I really had no control over (after drinking for a while though, I learned to gain some semblance of self-control when I'm plastered), but I still wouldn't say that completely excuses the activities. It just makes them more understandable, and hopefully more forgivable (this evidently does not relate to drunk driving, which should by now be so socially stigmatized I don't know why anyone does it anymore).
