I was wondering last night about signing contracts when you're drunk.

What's the deal there? Are they enforceable? I was thinking about all the drunk folks that sign their credit card receipts at 2am.

No, no. He's talking about enforcability of the contract, which means he's already got one, but doesn't want to pay for it. Right, 1TC? :texan:

wasn't there a recent case about this in NY? I think the guy charged $100,000 to his corporate Amex at Scores... he challenged it, and lost.

not at all. I was wondering about getting drunk in a bar and then signing the CC receipt. maybe I didn't mention that in the first post.

I spend a lot of time by myself and things just pop into my head.

I don't believe in screwing people out of money but nowadays that puts me in the minority in America.

Not the same thing. That guy sued, saying he got charged for services/beverages that he never received/ordered. I don't think his arguement was that he was drunk.

As for the answer to the original question, I think I remember from business law that it would not be inforcable, but you'd have to prove that you were in fact intoxicated at the time, and that it was reasonable to assume that the other person should have known you were intoxicated.

if proven, this means (in texas) that you would be charged with public intoxication, and the bartender that gave you the reciept would be charged with something... I hate TABC.
