““If scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue, a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““A voluntary intoxication defense allows the jury to consider ‘evidence of intoxication’ to determine whether the defendant acted with the requisite intent. But unlike diminished capacity, it is not necessary to present expert testimony to support an involuntary intoxication defense.. The effects of alcohol are commonly known and jurors can draw reasonable inferences from testimony about alcohol- use. State v. Kruger, 116 Wash. App. 685, 692-98 , 67 P.3d 1147 , rev. denied 150 Wash.2d 1024 , 81 P.3d 120 (2003); State v. Smissaert, 41 Wash. App. 813, 815 , 706 P.2d 647 (1985).””
