Vollrausch

Vollrausch is a legal principle that complements Actio libera in causa in German law. If a person who voluntarily and deliberately gets drunk then commits a crime, they may not plead intoxication as a mitigating circumstance, even if they had no intention of committing the crime before becoming intoxicated.[1]
