Statute 21-3208: Intoxication.
(1) The fact that a person charged with a crime was in an intoxicated
condition at the time the alleged crime was committed is a defense only if
such condition was involuntarily produced and rendered such person
substantially incapable of knowing or understanding the wrongfulness of his
conduct and of conforming his conduct to the requirements of law.
(2) An act committed while in a state of voluntary intoxication is not
less criminal by reason thereof, but when a particular intent or other
state of mind is a necessary element to constitute a particular crime, the
fact of intoxication may be taken into consideration in determining such
intent or state of mind.
