I do not believe it is illegal to drink booze and shoot guns at the same time

has anyone heard otherwise?

Drinking is illegal while driving because it's on public
roads, & it results in 10,000 or so deaths per year.

Shooting typically isn't something done on public property,
so there aren't cops providing an enforcement mechanism.
Moreover, I'll bet that deaths due to shooting while drunk
are minimal.
Still, drinking & shooting should be kept separate.

In some states it is illegal to carry (and shoot) while intoxicated, in some states maybe. It definitely could be considered negligent to fire while intoxicated and most states, of which I am aware, have statutes regarding negligent discharge of firearms.

However, you are not likely to be intoxicated by one or two drinks.

It depends on your age and location. For example drinking in a mall can be disorderly conduct and shooting a gun at the same time definitely illegal.
Another example a 15 year old drinking in NJ and shooting a gun in his backyard without a permit both illegal. :p
