Getting intoxicated is a concious act in most cases.
(Granted, there are exceptions like spiking a drink w/ GHB - but that's another disturbing issue.)
In the majority of cases, then intoxication is no longer a valid excuse.
It's only part of an explanation.
When it's by your own hand, being intoxicated does not mitigate culpability.
