No 2 is already the law.
Voluntary intoxication is no defense under USA law.

It's not a defense, that's true, but it doesn't allow the crime to rise to “premeditated” in most circumstances. It is usually “involuntary manslaughter” and not “premeditated murder” unless plans were shown to have been made prior to choosing to be incapacitated.
