CHAPTER II- CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY

Article 18 Criminal act committed when inebriated

A person is not excluded from criminal responsibility if he commits the act while inebriated.

When the state of inebriation is caused in incidental circumstances and brings about the lowering of mental balance, the court considers this circumstance for mitigating the sentence. When the person is intentionally inebriated in order to commit a criminal act, the court considers this circumstance for aggravating the sentence.

The above mentioned rules are also applied when the criminal act is committed under the effect of narcotics or other stimulants.
