I was curious if the presence of alcohol in your system after a home defense situation had an adverse effect? My question involves two different scenarios:
1. My BAC is between .01 and the legal limit (.08 in most cases).
2. My BAC is over the legal limit (>.08 in most cases)
Specifically: Does the presence of alcohol in my system make proving self defense tougher? Assuming that I am cleared by the police of any wrongdoing, does the presence of alcohol in my system make me more susceptible to losing a civil case?
I definitely don't anticipate this happening, it is just something that I have always wondered about.
