Yes, he was drunk when he committed suicide and probably under the influence of street drugs as well. I didn't put two and two together at the time, I was only 22 years old and was really into them, but should have actually listened to the lyrics Terry was writing and singing. He was in a lot of pain and was feeling he was being used by his "significant other" and "so called" friends at the time. Why didn't they get between him and those guns before he ended it that way? With a 44 magnum, you're meaning business. He knew that was in the chamber, they others in attendance were too wasted or just didn't care enough to stop him.

Guitarist Terry Kath is the answer. Details from Bing search, if allowed: (January 23, 1978) Legendary Chicago guitarist Terry Kath was an avid collector of guns. One week before his 32nd birthday, he brought several of his metal friends to a party along with his wife. After the party broke up, he began to play with his guns. Above was copy/pasted from Bing. The story goes on to say that he held a few of his guns to his head and succesfully fired and empty gun. But having forgotten that an automatic automatically loads, even without the clip in, he fired a single shot through his head.
