Getting blackout drunk and killing someone doesn't mean there was intent.

But now this law is saying if you get drunk enough, there is a line where you are no longer responsible. Of course, we are all just ignoring the fact that your direct actions lead to someone's death.
Not being in control doesn't mean you're not responsible for the actions that made you loose control.
I.E. you can't say speeding made you loose control of the vehicle and that is why you killed someone.
Just like you can't say drinking too much made you loose control and that is why you killed someone.
