Alcohol impairs your judgment, so, it IS an excuse for lack of judgement and motor skills. It also slows down the part of your brain that processes reason, making you all about emotional responses and a lack of precise motor skills. Again, it is an impairment and therefor can be an excuse.
However, I don’t think it excuses behavior while drunk, and that if someone has a problem with drinking responsibly, they should not drink at all. Ever. Accountability is the way to deal with problem drinking behavior. For most "problem drinkers," that means abstinence.
Conclusion: It's an excuse, but that doesn't excuse the behavior.
