That's an enormous percentage of murders, alcohol can almost certainly increase or even cause criminal intent, something that guns are incapable of doing.
Can you link the study? Its no big deal, but I like to look at data.
Anyway, I disagree that guns are incapable of giving a person enough confidence to commit a murder. A person with a gun on his hands may feel empowered enough to face another that otherwise avoid without said gun.
