yes its called drunk arson, there is a special charge that carries an added sentence. arson has several degrees and like other crimes can carry an adder. for instance hate crimes that are now in effect, domestic crimes, murder(dui death resulting). arson is the same way domestic arson, hate arson, drunken arson.

Another VIew: Arson is a criminal offense in ALL states. Using an alleged drunken condition as an element of the defense may raise the issue of extenuating circumstances - however - it is still a criminal offense. There is no such criminal charge as "Drunk Arson!"
