1) True

Explanation:

An intoxicated person can:

disaffirm the contract: an intoxicated person can void a contract while still being intoxicated or short after becoming sober. If the contract involves basic necessities, it can still be voided but the intoxicated person is still liable for the goods or services consumed. ratify the contract: once sober the person can ratify the contract and it becomes enforceable by all the parties.
