DRUNKNESS AS A CRIME
In the Philippines, drunkenness in itself is not a
crime because a person may drink to excess in the
privacy of his home or in the party and commit no
crime at all.
It is only when a drunken person exhibits his
condition publicly, or disturbs, endangers, or injured
others, that he became an offender and therefore,
subject to arrest and punishment.
Before and during elections, it is unlawful to sell or
drink intoxicating liquor, as provided in the election
law.
Under RA 4136, as amended, driving under the
influence of liquor is prohibited. 190
Under Article 15 of the Revised Penal Code,
intoxication is considered as Alternative
Circumstances.
It is considered a mitigating circumstance when
the offender has committed a felony in a state
of intoxication, if the same is not habitual.
It is considered an aggravating circumstance,
when the intoxication is habitual or intentional.
191
KINDS OF INTOXICATION
Involuntary – when a drunken person does not
know the intoxicating strength of beverage he
has taken.
Intentional – when a person deliberately drinks
liquor fully knowing its effects, either to obtain
mitigation or to find the liquor as stimulant to
commit crime.

his a constant necessary and the vice ultimately
takes hold of him.

face. There is no sign of mental impairment,
in coordination and difficulty of speech.

BRIEF EXPLANATION HOW A PERSON GETS
DRUNK
Alcohol has its maximum period of
absorption from 30 to 60 minutes after
ingestion and it is absorbed in the stomach
and in the intestines. Technically, if alcohol is
only inside the stomach and intestine and not
yet absorbed, it is practically outside of the
body because it cannot produce its
physiologic and neurologic effects.
195
The rate of absorption of alcohol in the stomach and
intestine depends upon the following factors:
Concentration and total quantity of alcohol taken.
Nature of food present in the stomach and intestine.
Fatty foods make absorption of alcohol slower as
compared with sugar and other carbohydrates and
protein.
The length of time the gastric contents are held in the
stomach prior to the opening of the pylorus
Permeability of the stomach and intestinal membrane to
alcohol.
Chronic drinkers absorb alcohol faster than non-habitual
drinkers.
Concentration of alcohol in the beverages between 10196
FORMS OF CHEMICAL AND SCIENTIFIC
TESTS OF INTOXICATION
197
THE BLOOD-ALCOHOL TEST
This test is the most widely accepted and direct
method of determining the concentration of alcohol in
the blood. This is done by physician, nurse or
competent technician upon request of the police
investigator. The following are the present two
presumptive standards relating to the interpretation of
blood alcohol contents:
If there is 0.05 percent or less by weight of alcohol in
a person’s blood, it shall be presumed that he is not
under the influence of intoxicating liquor.
If there is 0.15 percent or more by weight of alcohol
in a person’s blood, it shall be presumed that he is
198
under the influence of intoxicating liquor.
THE URINE-ALCOHOL TEST:
Urine examination to determine blood
alcohol contents gives an acceptable result to
the court although the use of this chemical
test is not yet widespread in our jurisdiction.
Sample of urine must not be taken at one time
only because urinary excretion of alcohol
varies with time. Excretion is less during the
early stage of absorption and may be more
than that in the blood during the later stage.
199
METHODS OF THERAPY ON ALCOHOLISM
The Aversion Treatment
This treatment seeks to create an aversion from
alcohol by the administration of a Nauseating
drug to be followed by a drink of liquor, and thus
develops a dislike of alcohol.
The method maybe rather costly since
hospitalization maybe required.
Moreover, the effect is not always lasting and
treatment must be repeated.
Yet, it is said that this method has proven
effective in more than half of the cases. 200
The Psychotherapy Method
This cure depends upon showing that the
real problem of the alcoholic is not the
Alcohol itself but the emotional problem
that led the alcoholics to drink.
This method therefore, aims to eliminate
these emotional tensions.
Through therapeutic interviews, it
undertakes to make the alcoholics aware
of why he drinks and to provide him with
the strength necessary to combat his
problems. 201
The Program of Alcoholics Anonymous
This method is based on conversion and
fellowship.
It emphasizes that alcoholics understand
alcoholism better than anyone else
Man is dependent upon God and must turn
to Him for help; that the alcoholic must
sincerely desire to stop drinking
He must admit that he is an alcoholic and
cannot drink in moderation.
