Everyone is held responsible for their actions when drunk. Otherwise people would literally get drunk to do something they want to do, such as cheat with the person they've been thinking about.
Imagine it now, get together to hang out, get drunk... now there is an excuse.
It applies to all aspects of being drunk though, driving a car and hurting or killing someone, or worse.
Same goes if a drunk person rapes someone.
Being drunk or high is never an excuse for ones actions.

Alcohol or drugs don't reduce someone's responsibility. In cases, if prosecution can prove the culprit consumed alcohol intentionally before commit a crime the sentence can be even harsher than sober.
In case of cheating, I wouldn't believe the cheater because I don't lose control over myself when I'm drunk and I don't believe someone does. If someone does they don't deserve my attention and forgiveness anyway
Fuck yes, you should be. (Generalized "you" not you/asker, specifically)
It was your decision to drink, in the first place. Nobody forced the alcohol down your throat. If you can't control yourself, then you shouldn't be drinking. This is especially true if you've drank before, and you know how it affects you.
My partner of 12 years cheated on me, when she was drunk, and you damn well better believe I blamed her ass for it, because it was her f*cking fault.
Of course one should be, the thoughts didn't come from nowhere and if a little alcohol is all it took for them to go in and behave like a jackass, they were on edge quite a bit
Say no to alcohol and drugs
I may be a depression, pain riddle abomination, but at least I stay away from those😇

When I was younger I was a heavy raver and drank and took many different drugs. You cannot use it as an excuse it's a complete cop out.
If you don't know what your doing that much whilst on a substance or drink you should consider whether it's a choice to blame the substance rather than your low moralsNo. Don't get drunk or get high if you cheat on your lover when you're drunk or high. Same as driving. Don't drive in that state. Basic accountability 101.
A person absolutely should be held accountable for their actions, regardless of intent of they were drunk or high. They made the choice to intoxicate themselves in the first place.
You chose to drug yourself didn't you? Did you do that under the influence as well? 😂
Absolutely, you chose to drink too much and so anything you do under the influence is your fault.
Yes you should be held accountable but for choosing to get drunk, not for the silly choices once intoxicated.
According to Aristotle, you are twice as responsible: for drinking that much and for what you did next.
No I would never accept I was drunk and it is not my fault the whole bar - including the girls - did me.
Yes, you should be held accountable when you are drunk... you chose to get drunk, no one forced you.
Damn right you are because you put yourself in the situation. Drunk or high is not a get out of jail free excuse. Try telling a judge your not responsible for running ove a child because you were drunk and see how that works for you
You should always be held accountable for your actions. Bring drunk, high or both is never a good excuse.
While in many places one who is intoxicated cannot legally consent to sex, that is the exception. Otherwise, yes, you are responsible.
Yes, unless you were not aware there was alcohol in your drink.
You made the choice to get drunk/high. Therefore, you are responsible for the choices you made in that state.
