Intoxication administered without consent negates criminal liability when the person cannot know the nature or wrongness of the act. Acts done while, by reason of intoxication, a person is incapable of knowing the nature of the act or that it is wrong or contrary to law are not offences where the intoxicant was administered without his knowledge or against his will, making involuntary intoxication the decisive condition for absence of criminal culpability.
