MADDOX, Justice.

The main issues in this case are: (1) whether the minor children of one who is killed because of his own intoxication are protected parties and, thus, have a cause of action under the Alabama Dram Shop Act, Ala.Code 1975, § 6-5-71, and (2) whether the voluntary intoxication of the deceased is a defense to an action brought by the deceased's minor children under the Dram Shop Act.
