NY politician Victor Tabone claimed he was too drunk to recognize that the briefcase filled with $20,000 he accepted in the back of an SUV was a bribe. He stated that the 6 or 7 vodka tonics he had at dinner made him think that the bribe was actually a contract to hire him as a political consultant.
As part of an undercover FBI sting operation, Tabone was one of 3 other politicians caught in the bribery scheme.

In U.S. Court(Federal Reserve Panel), under the influence, is not a defense. It is best, for them, if the Defendant, was SO intoxicated, because whatever is made up, will stick! “I can’t remember” is only viable in Congress!
