DRUNKENNES
(bouvier) | DRUNKENNESS. Intoxication with strong liquor.
2. This is an offence generally punished by local regulations, more or
less severely.
3. Although drunkenness reduces a man to a temporary insanity, it does
not excuse him or palliate his offence, when he commits a crime during a fit
of intoxication, and which is the immediate result of it. When the act is a
remote consequence, superinduced by the antecedent drunkenness of the party,
as in cases of delirium tremens or mania a potu, the insanity excuses the
act. 5 Mison's R. 28; Amer. Jurist, vol. 3, p. 5-20; Martin and Yeager's. R.
133, 147;. Dane's Ab. Index, h.t.; 1 Russ. on Cr. 7; Ayliffe's Parerg. 231
4 Bl. Com. 26.
4. As there must be a will and intention in order to make a contract,
it follows, that a man who is in such a state of intoxication as not to know
what he is doing, may avoid a contract entered into by him while in this
state. 2 Aik. Rep. 167; 1 Green, R. 233; 2 Verm. 97; 1 Bibb, 168; 3 Hayw. R.
