It is almost always a crime to possess a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance. Many states also prohibit people from carrying a firearm into establishments that serve liquor (such as bars and nightclubs), even with a concealed carry permit, and even if you are not drinking.
The laws that apply to you depend on the state in which you live. To learn more about the gun laws in your state, see Gun Control Laws, and click the link to your state under the section entitled “Gun Laws by State”.
But I have a concealed carry permit. May I carry my weapon while intoxicated?
Having a concealed carry permit does not give you free reign to carry your weapon at any time or under every circumstance that you wish. Most permits come with a set of places or circumstances where you may not carry your gun, and one circumstance is usually while you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
This is the case in Tennessee, where as a concealed carry permit holder, you may have your license suspended for up to three years (in addition to fines and possible jail time) for drinking in an establishment that sells liquor while in possession of your firearm.

I looked it up.
It is illegal to carry in a bar in Washington state, but I see no mention of it being illegal to carry while drunk.

a bunch of other states allow cc in restaurants that serve alcohol
Yes.....wasn't it the Luby's Cafe shooting and Suzanah Gratia Hupp who lost her parent's in the shooting who lobbied the Texas legislature to change the concealed carry law?
She was required by law to leave her gun in her car because Luby's served alcohol.....making it one of the first big cases of a gun free zone becoming a killing zone, when the guy drove his truck through the window and came out of his truck murdering people....including her 2 parents....
She also said had she had her gun, she had a direct opportunity to shoot the guy, but couldn't because the gun free zone disarmed her.....
The fantasy that this woman could have stopped the massacre if only she had her trusty shoot'n iron is an NRA fantasy
Hey twit...you are right....she kept her gun in her car because morons like you made it a possible felony for a law abiding, non criminal citizen to carry a gun. That was back in the 90s......so she had been carrying a gun illegally, without paperwork for months and then decided she didn't want a felony conviction for exercising a Right, and put her gun in her glove compartment....and her parent's died because of it...because of twits like you....
