Abstract

From the provisions of the 2015 Penal Code, amended and supplemented in 2017 (hereinafter referred to as BLHS) on the prosecution of criminal liability (hereinafter referred to as TNHS) and the sanctions imposed on offenders. Due to the use of alcohol, beer or other strong stimulants when committing crimes, the author focuses on analyzing the above regulations in the context of criminals being forced, incited and enticed to use alcohol. Beer and other stimulants lead to loss of cognitive ability and behavioral control. On that basis, point out unreasonable points when prosecuting criminal liability and framing penalties for offenders due to the use of alcohol, beer or other strong stimulants in the above case and provide solutions to perfect law.
