Analyze the differences between voluntary and involuntary intoxication

Evaluate when a person can appropriately rely on the involuntary intoxication defense? May a person rely on involuntary action even though he or she voluntarily became intoxicated? If so, when and why?


The person chooses to become intoxicated; the person became intoxicated because of peer pressure to join; the person commits an act during the state of intoxication that he or she would normally not commit when sober; the person is coerced through threats or other pressures out of his or her control to become intoxicated; the person is unaware of the presence of alcohol or drugs in the drink or food he or she consumed; unexpected intoxication because of prescribed medication; pathological intoxication occurs.
