Can You Blame It on the Alcohol?

As the holidays approach, it is extremely important to be reminded of the law amongst all of the festivities. Although it is common to suffer from poor judgment while under the influence, the court does not recognize “voluntary intoxication” as a suitable legal defense when accused of a crime. Voluntary intoxication describes the action of willingly consuming drugs and/or alcohol.

No matter how inebriated you are, you will not escape criminal liability by blaming it on the alcohol, and dependent upon the circumstances, that intoxication may further damage your case.
