If you practice driving while drunk, you will crash. This will not teach you to drive well (especially if you die). If you practice driving sober, you will get better at driving generally, and also in the domain where you drive drunk. There. analogy fixed. Don’t argue over analogies.
But driving drunk is not exactly the same skill as driving sober, so that practicing drunk can be expected to improve your skills in driving drunk in ways that only driving sober would not.
Even then, there’s a difference between “I need to get home but I’m impaired, so I’ll try to drive extra slowly and extra cautiously and hope for the best” and “THE LAST ONE AT THE CROSSING IS A CHICKEN”
