Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A defendant is charged with stabbing someone during a bar altercation, claiming they were intoxicated at the time and lacked the intent to harm. The defendant’s intoxication was caused by drinking several alcoholic beverages they voluntarily consumed. Under criminal law, how does their intoxication impact their potential liability for the crime?

  • Voluntary intoxication reduces the ability to form specific intent crimes but does not exempt general intent or reckless crimes.

  • Voluntary intoxication limits liability in cases where intent to harm is proven absent intoxication.

  • Voluntary intoxication impacts decisions but does not reduce criminal liability.

  • Voluntary intoxication is not considered a viable defense under criminal liability.
