Rant YOU CAN'T SHOOT PROPERLY WHILE DRUNK

I know the title seems kinda obvious, but something I didn't know is how exactly a shootout would go on while on effect.

Basically, I was low on dead eye base so I drank a couple of Kentucky Bourbons. Just the two of them were enough to make Arthur dizzy and the screen turned into that shaky yellow-green (I was used to taking Guarma Rum, which is quite weaker apparently). Then some bounty hunters showed up.

I would point the target on them but the little circle didn't turn red. And even if I shooted directly at them, the bullets would mostly miss. I had to appeal to a shotgun so that even if I didn't aim directly at them, something would hit. I got mad but also found it pretty cool, just another amazing detail from this amazing game.
