 This less demanding version of PAP was needed all along, even for more ordinary cases. Tom, who becomes violent when drunk, couldn’t help himself when he punched someone: Tom’s intoxication put him at the mercy of his anger. Yet, assuming other conditions on responsibility are met, we should blame him, especially when learning that he willingly drank beforehand. It’s the prior act of drinking for which Tom had alternatives, and it’s these alternatives, not those at the time of action, that satisfy our new condition.
