liTHIBODEAUX, Judge.

George Gradney filed a claim for workers’ compensation benefits against D.B.L. Drilling and Production Services, Inc. for injuries suffered during the course and scope of his employment. The workers’ compensation judge denied payment of benefits based on an intoxication defense asserted by D.B.L. Drilling. Mr. Gradney appeals this judgment and asserts that the facts .support a finding that ^either the intoxication defense is inapplicable or that he rebutted the presumption of intoxication. .

Because Mr. Gradney rebutted the presumption of intoxication, we reverse.
