Leveling the Field between Injured Iowans and Insurance Companies.

What is the definition of intoxication?

 

A:

One of the areas of dispute is was the person consuming alcohol intoxicated.  Under Iowa law a person is "intoxicated," if, by drinking beer, wine, or liquor, one or more of the following is true:

  1.  [His] [Her] reason or mental ability has been affected.
  2.  [His] [Her] judgment is impaired.
  3.  [His] [Her] emotions are visibly excited.
  4.  [He] [She] has, to any extent, lost control of bodily actions.

Evidence of a person's blood-alcohol level, if available, is important evidence of intoxication.  This is usually only available if the intoxicated person was arrested for drunk driving, public intoxication, assault, etc.
