When voluntary intoxication may be considered.
No act committed by a person while in a state of voluntary intoxication shall be deemed less criminal by reason of his or her condition, but whenever the actual existence of any particular purpose, motive or intent is a necessary element to constitute a particular species or degree of crime, the fact of the persons intoxication may be taken into consideration in determining the purpose, motive or intent.
