Scriv, what NWanner said was that there's no MGL that prohibits carrying at any BAC (Blood Alcohol Content).
And he was wrong. Grasp the concept.
And is the Too Stupid To Live comment really necessary over his remark?
Yes.

Is the BAC limit .08 or .8? I thought it was .8...
.08
i think you'd die with .8 -
“Depressant or stimulant substance”,
(a) a drug which contains any quantity of barbituric acid or any of the salts of barbituric acid; or any derivative of barbituric acid which the United States Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare has by regulation designated as habit forming; or
(b) a drug which contains any quantity of amphetamine or any of its optical isomers; any salt of amphetamine or any salt of an optical isomer of amphetamine; or any substance which the United States Attorney General has by regulation designated as habit forming because of its stimulant effect on the central nervous system; or
(c) lysergic acid diethylamide; or
(d) any drug except marihuana which contains any quantity of a substance which the United States Attorney General has by regulation designated as having a potential for abuse because of its depressant or stimulant effect on the central nervous system or its hallucinogenic effect.
If I read that right, it only criminalizes carrying a firearm as defined in c140s121 (ie, a pistol or revolver). So you can be completely cocked and carrying a shotgun? Unless that's prohibited somewhere else, which wouldn't surprise me.
And only applies to those who possess a LTC. If someone were to be carrying a firearm without a LTC and were "under the influence" they could not be charged under that statute.
I don't see what the question is here.
If you're going to get sloshed, then don't carry.
If not, then why not carry? I don't see what the "quandry" is here, unless your trip to boston involves meandering through a college campus (where it's obviously illegal) or going to/from a venue with a security checkpoint.
I kinda agree with Underwhere in the sense that if you're "wonky" about carrying a firearm while barhopping, why not just seek a middle ground and get a good can of OC instead? It's a hell of a lot better than nothing.

you know - there are lots of really nice bars in boston, in good areas were you dont have to fear your life to go and enjoy...
Even without the drinking issue, it is much better to call for an ambulance, as the ambulance actually starts treatment en-route, and will arrive with an EKG ready for the ER personel, plus they have a defib if needed.It would be the same as me deciding I needed to drive a friend having a heart attack to the hospital after drinking
Section 10H. Whoever, having in effect a license to carry firearms issued under section 131 or 131F of chapter 140, carries on his person, or has under his control in a vehicle, a loaded firearm, as defined in section 121 of said chapter 140, while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or marijuana, narcotic drugs, depressants or stimulant substances, all as defined in section 1 of chapter 94C, or the vapors of glue shall be punished by a fine of not more than $5,000 or by imprisonment in the house of correction for not more than two and one-half years, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
So now I have to stop sniffing glue as well??? WTF!
Guys, don't be so hard on Scrivener. He is correct.Willfully obtuse you am.

. Get home, firearm in safe, then have a glass or two of wine of beer. Just use your head - if you carry, avoid drinking.

No offense, but if you have to lock up the firearms before you have a glass or two of wine or beer, maybe it's time to quit drinking. Do you lock up the car keys and tape off the stove controls as well?
