Advice compiled and condensed from actual sources by Kelly Jane Torrance, who composed the questions. Why can't a hard-working guy enjoy a drink now and then? I'm in the news, not for my work judging on "America's Got Talent," but for a little visit to the hospital. My 17-year-old daughter got the paramedics to come when she found me on the floor, saying I was "extremely drunk." Now I'm being called an irresponsible lush again. It doesn't help that a couple years ago, another daughter filmed me looking pretty drunk, crawling around on the floor trying to eat a cheeseburger.

Few concepts are as basic to the law - or religion, philosophy, and life, for that matter - as are "justification" and "excuse." In the context of the criminal law, justification and excuse are touchstones for prescribing and proscribing conduct generally, and for assigning guilt or innocence in the particular case. They are always implicit, and often explicit, in every crime that a society chooses to recognize. They are of paramount importance in both establishing the parameters of criminal offenses and providing for their principled enforcement. It is not an overstatement to observe that a moral and coherent understanding and application of justification and excuse is indispensable to a moral and coherent system of criminal laws. The thesis of this article is that modern criminal law ...

The US Supreme Court in their 1996 Montana v. Egelhoff decision incorrectly held that Montana did not violate the 14th Amendment Due Process Clause by enacting a statute disallowing negation of mens rea with voluntary intoxication evidence. Substantive due process does not require the use of such evidence as an affirmative defense. However, procedural due process and substantive criminal law require that intoxication be considered to determine the crucial element of intent in criminal offenses.
