Ok. I just noticed a thread on Full Disclosure about whether an attacker could use drunkeness as a defense for committing a cyber crime (breaking into a computer). It's an interesting thing to consider. Certainly alcohol does change our mind's view on ethics. We let our inhibitions go.

Also, what about a plea of insanity? or "emotional distress"? I think the last one would have merit in regards to revenge attacks. It'd be interesting to see if any cases would be won that way.

What do the rest think abou this?
