Which of the following is a reason for a person to be relieved of a contract that they signed while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs?

1. He or she did not eat anything all day before drinking alcoholic beverages
2. He or she would not have signed the contract if no alcohol or drugs had been consumed
3. He or she did not intend to enter into a contract
4. Someone intentionally gave the person drugs or alcohol to take advantage of them in a contract situation

Answer

• Someone intentionally gave the person drugs or alcohol to take advantage of them in a contract situation

Explanation:

When someone is intoxicated, that is considered incapacity when entering into a contract and if such persons do enter a contract, the contract is considered voidable. Any contract is binding until the drunkard signer proves that at the time of entering the contract, he/she was under the influence of drugs and did not know what they were doing and the other party was aware of this condition. Such a contract is voidable only if the other party knew the level of impairment so if you give someone drugs in order to have them sign a contract, then the contract can be voidable.
