It is legal to injure someone while drinking alcohol in Canada

Yes. On May 13, 2022, the Supreme Court of Canada released breaking news: criminal defendants are allowed to use extreme intoxication and drug intoxication as a defense in cases involving assault (including sexual assault). Defendants who voluntarily get drunk and take soft drugs such as cannabis and then assault others can avoid conviction if they can prove they were unable to control their behavior at the time of the injury. Therefore, it is legal in Canada to injure someone after drinking alcohol.
