Don't know about alcohol consumption but you're right - alcohol and firearms (or any dangerous machinery) don't mix. Personally, if I'm going to go out and have a beer or two, or glass of wine with dinner I don't even bring my firearm with me in the car. If I am armed, I don't drink - not even a sip.

I've been handling firearms for going on 45 years now without any accidents or negligent discharges. I'm only this safe because my parents drilled proper handling, respect, and safety into me before I could even have a BB gun. It is just part of me. Clearly this agent forgot his training and made numerous bad choices throughout the evening. To me those bad choices are indications that being armed, even being an FBI agent of any kind, is not for him. If this is what it appears to be - and I don't see how it could be much else - I'd pull his badge & gun and fire him within an hour of reviewing the material.

I can’t say that as a kid we didn’t drink peach brandy while duck hunting and smoke weed

I grew up 100 miles east of duck dynasty off I 20 and hunted deer and duck all over the Miss delta

And once the dawn rush of birds slowed we’d fire up and pass around pull....that was peach brandy..pull

Couldn’t deer hunt and do much

Deer are smarter although I was in a skybox stand in Texas hill country once and buck walked right under me while I was smoking a Red

I think my boys are smarter than I was....

We certainly had gun accidents

My friend shit himself in the leg quick drawing his 41 around that time and I got shot in the head with. 22LR that same era by the same bunch...

Good thing it wasn’t an ought six

But we weren’t high or drinking with either those incidents

Drinking a little is common in duck blinds I’ve seen

And deer camps at night can be bacchanalia
