KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Intoxication
Intoxication refers to impairment caused by alcohol, drugs, or other substances. In criminal law, intoxication may affect liability depending on whether it is voluntary or involuntary.
While intoxication is generally not a defence, it may negate specific intent for certain offences. The law draws careful distinctions to avoid allowing self-induced impairment to excuse wrongdoing.
