22 Md. App. 460 (1974)

323 A.2d 642

WILLIAM J. KARNS v. LIQUID CARBONIC CORPORATION ET AL.

Court of Special Appeals of Maryland.

Decided August 14, 1974.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lester H. Crowther, with whom was Claude F. McKenzie on the brief, for appellant.

Glenn C. Parker, with whom were Theodore B. Cornblatt and Smith, Somerville & Case on the brief, for appellees.

The cause was argued before THOMPSON, GILBERT and MOORE, JJ.

MOORE, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.

Workmen's compensation benefits are denied in Maryland where the injury resulted solely from the intoxication of the injured or solely from the effect of drugs.1 Self-inflicted injury or wilful misconduct are the other statutory grounds for disentitlement to benefits but the statute omits the word "solely" in both instances. Md. Code, Art. 101, § 45.
