To be Drunk is to have been drinking alcohol to the point that normal daily functioning is inhibited. Some common signs include slurring of speech, poor motor skills such as walking in a straight line, and a general lack of control with emotions and speech content. Continuous drinking can lead to unconsciousness and even death.
Public drunkness is a crime in many states and certainly driving while intoxicated (DWI) is as well. Drunk drivers lead to the deaths of many innocent people each year.
Waking up the next day from a drunken state can result in a hangover - a bad headache combined with sound sensitivity.
