Drunkenness. As a general rule, a state of alcoholic intoxication is no defense to a crime committed while in that condition, except when a man was made drunk against his will and by force. Such cases must be rare. A nice question is presented in a case of chronic alcoholic psychosis. In such a case the prosecution would admit that the crime was a result of an insane delusion, but would argue that since the insanity was the result of voluntary indulgence in alcohol the defendant was fully responsible. Most courts would probably exculpate the defendant, however, on the theory that his insanity was not a natural result (but ' a rather unusual result) of his drinking and that in any event he did not wilfully become insane. The psychiatrist's job would be simply to tell the jury that the accused had a psychosis, that it was due to alcohol and that it was a form of insanity. Drunkenness sometimes robs a crime of one of its elements and thus reduces it to a lesser offense. If a drunkard assaults another man and inflicts grievous bodily harm, he may be indicted for assault with intent to kill or assault with intent to commit mayhem. The psychiatrist might be able to point out that the defendant was so befuddled by liquor that he could not form a clear intent to do anything. If the jury accepts that, the effect would be to reduce the crime to simple assault. Par¬ ticularly difficult questions are raised by a crime committed during a period of pathologic intoxication. The patient has complete amnesia for his behavior and will never remember having done what he is charged with. But within the framework of his pathologic intoxication he will have acted sanely. He will show premeditation, planning and an effort to escape—all of which suggests that he has full responsibility even though his amnesia is genuine. In delirium tremens, on the other hand, the patient is clearly in no condition to plan, deliberate, weigh con¬ sequences, evaluate the wrongfulness of the act or understand its quality. Some offenses are actually aggravated if the defendant is drunk (reckless driving, for instance), while others may be mitigated provided the psychiatrist satisfies first himself (and later the jury) that the intoxication stripped away one of the mental components of the act (such as intent or premeditation). Courts are not prepared, however, to accept the thesis that acute alcoholism is a disease. To the judges and the jurymen, intoxication is a bad habit and alcoholism a defect of character. ...
