Ok, I know the conventional wisdom for firearms is that firearms and alcohol or other impairment does not mix. I agree. However, real life being what it is, I'm asking if anyone besides me practices while impaired. Be it alcohol, lack of sleep, whatever. We all know that such things will degrade our performance - aim, judgement, reaction time, etc. but do you know precisely by how much, and can you recognize and compensate for that impairment? The only way to know is to do it. A bad guy is not likely to be courteous enough to only attack when you are stone cold sober, and prepared.
So who does it? If you don't, then you don't know what your limits are, and if you don't know your limits, then you don't know yourself.
I practice when mildly intoxicated, and/or lack of sleep, etc. Call it a habit ingrained by the USMC and combat.
