intoxicated with alcohol
Describes a person who has drunk a lot of alcohol and cannot act or think normally.
用法パターン：
a drunken [person]
よくある間違い：
Learners often say *"He is drunken"* to describe someone's condition. In modern English we almost always say *"He is drunk"* (not *drunken*) after the verb. Use *drunken* mainly before a noun: *a drunken man*, *a drunken guest*.
類義語
drunk (More common in everyday speech; used both before and after the noun (a drunk man / he is drunk), while 'drunken' is mostly before the noun.)
|
intoxicated (More formal and technical; often used in medical or legal contexts.)
対義語
sober (Describes someone who has not been drinking alcohol, or is not affected by alcohol.)

よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes think *drunken* is only for people, but it is very common before event nouns: *drunken brawl*, *drunken fight*, *drunken driving*. Also, in American English *drunk driving* is more common than *drunken driving*, but both are correct.
