Being drunk does not prevent that person from bringing a claim, but it definitely makes the case more difficult to win. If the driver has the light, the person is walking aimlessly and crossed the street into oncoming traffiic, and was drunk - then most likely the drunk person would lose that case
However, different facts could produce a different result .
