Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“does not require proof of any culpable mental state regarding ... the fact that the driver was intoxicated or that the driver's blood-alcohol content exceeded [the legal limit]”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Voluntary intoxication may not be taken into consideration in determining the existence of a mental state that is an element of a criminal offense. Voluntary intoxication does not relieve a person of a duty to act if failure to act constitutes a criminal offense. Evidence that a person was voluntarily intoxicated may be admissible to show whether or not the person was physically capable of performing the act with which the person is charged.”

Ireland“[cJrimi-nal law texts on this subject ... suggest that we may have gone too far in Morgan when we suggested that [the offense of driving under the influence] invariably requires proof that the defendant knowingly ingested alcohol or other intoxicants.”
