Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that extreme drunkenness could be used as a defence only for crime which require specific intent. This means that if the accused can prove that they were so intoxicated that they could not form the specific intent required for the particular crime, they may have a defence. However, this defence will not be available for crimes that do not require specific intent.
