There are also a small number of males whose offense seems intimately connected with their having been seriously intoxicated. Some are chronic alcoholics. While many sex offenders, and especially those who offend against children, claim drunkenness in exoneration, in very few cases does intoxication seem to do more than simply release pre-existing desires. Even in those very few “drunks” now under discussion, there is probably some unconscious pedophilia, or at least an unusual weakness of the age taboo, for the vast majority of alcoholics and seriously intoxicated persons do successfully discriminate as to the age of a potential sexual object.

A typical case is one of an unmarried man nearly forty, whose heterosexual life was quantitatively adequate. He was given to rather heavy drinking, especially during weekends. On one such weekend, while staying with friends, he exceeded his capacity and became so intoxicated that he had no recollection of entering the room of a nine-year-old girl and touching her genitalia. The girl protested and he left. Nothing in his prior history or in the institutional psychiatric examinations gave any forewarning of his behavior. The drunken cases typically have but one offense incident; repeated activity with children is rare.
