"Somebody who claims to intend to harm no others, and specifically merely intends to share a friendly evening's drinking and to drive others home afterward, but who then decides on serious drinking and so cannot safely drive, cannot plausibly claim to intend merely the exuberant drinking and bonhomie and not the foreseeable drunkenness and inability to drive safely. Given a standard information, such a set is volitionally incoherent. For it is a normal and forseeable result of exuberant drinking that the drinker is incapable of driving safely." (Onora O'Neill. Constructions of Reason. 93p.)
"Whoever wills a maxim (...) is also committed to the foreseeable results of acting on these more specific intentions." (idem. ibidem. 98p.
