Is a person held accountable for any crime they commit while under the influence of alcohol?
Intoxication is not a valid defense against criminal charges. That’s it! Period. A person is completely responsible for his actions regardless of whether or not he was intoxicated when he committed the crime. The sole exception is a situation in which an accused can prove that he was physically forced to consume intoxicants.
