[Vampire the Masquerade] Is draining a hostile human giving in to the beast?

At the start of bloodlines Jack tells you to never do this, and if you drain someone like a hobo or a clubber dry it's a humanity loss, but I do it on purpose all the time to thugs and anyone else trying to kill me. Is it just cool as long as it's an intentional murder or is that a game oversight?

Yes the less human you pretend to be the closer you are to the beast. 
It's all about what you see as 'human', draining someone is self defense isn't an instinctive response to hunger it's just another way to defend yourself.
