The order of the Appellate Division, 76 A.D.2d 802, 429 N.Y.S.2d 200, should be reversed, with costs, and the matter remitted to that court for review of the facts (CPLR 5613). Under the charge given by the trial court the jury was instructed to determine whether the decedent was so intoxicated as to be rendered incapable of understanding or appreciating the danger which confronted him.
