Recently I traveled to Germany with friends and got a bit to much drunk. While walking to hotel I fell down and damaged my foot. Police approached me, checked my ID (I am from the EU), asked if I took drugs (I said no and I didn't), helped me to book a taxi and I left. They didn't arrest me or anything of the sort, nor did they issue a ticket.

Now I am super scared... I am afraid that they will send me the fine by mail and report to my work...

What could be the punishment for that?

I did a research and found the following in German criminal code: Section 323a Intoxication

(1) Whoever intentionally or negligently puts themselves into a state of intoxication by consuming alcoholic drinks or other intoxicating substances incurs a penalty of imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or a fine if they commit an unlawful act whilst in this state and cannot be punished on account thereof because they lacked criminal responsibility due to the intoxication or if this cannot be ruled out.

(2) The penalty may not be more severe than the penalty provided for the offence which was committed in a state of intoxication.

(3) The offence is prosecuted only upon request, upon authorisation or request by a foreign state if the act which was committed in a state of intoxication can be prosecuted only upon request, authorisation or request by a foreign state.
