Bihar Liquor Ban: Accidental Medicine Overdosing Crime?

(Querist) 05 January 2018 This query is : Resolved 
The Bihar Prohibition & Excise Act 16 has penal provisions for being found drunk, even if the drunken state is because of any medicine. There's no explicit mention of exceptions in case of accidental/indeliberate overdosing of a duly prescribed medicine. My case is that I was on a duly prescribed homoeopathic medicine containing 90% alcohol, which I'd accidently overdosed upon just before being arrested. What laws/case laws/principles etc. can I rely upon for my defense, when the law doesn't explicitly mentions an exception in case of indeliberate/accidental overdosing of medicines containing alcohol?
