Trick question, it's not about the alcohol, this is another, tell Mr. Burris to pull his shirt over the Glock when it's stuffed into basketball shorts thread; don't want sheep getting scared.
I finally took the time to watch the video. Probably wouldn't have called the cops, but probably wouldn't have followed him into Applebee's either. While being drunk with a gun isn't illegal, being drunk in public and acting in a specific manner is, and by the description given in the video, it's hard to tell what "obvious he was drunk by the way he handled his gun" really is, but presumably enough to alarm the question writer. It's a judgement call he had to make and from the snips we have, not one I think the totality of the circumstances is conveyed in; so to judge him would be more a measure on benefit of the doubt than equal situation. If it were to be to the point I'd contact the police it would be because of imminent danger; which waving a Glock around may constitute, but being slow in the process of holstering (yeah they make ones you can't see under shorts) wouldn't.
