The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
For the purpose of furnishing an excuse for what would otherwise be a crime, "voluntary drunkenness is not regarded as a disease affecting the mind; but involuntary drunkenness, and diseases caused by voluntary drunkenness, fall, so far as they affect the mind, within that term."
Steph. Cr. 22,
