Someone drunk is drunk.
Drunk is an adjective that describes a person who is intoxicated or who frequently reaches this state. The term could derive from morratxa , a Catalan word that refers to a bottle or vessel .
For example: “You're drunk again! I will not allow you to sleep in my bed” , “A drunk driver hit five people at the exit of a party” , “I was a drunk for twenty years, but with the support of my family I was able to recover” .
It should be noted that drunkenness or intoxication is a physical and mental alteration that is generated when an individual consumes alcoholic beverages in excess . That is why a drunk or intoxicated individual can also be called an alcoholic when this disorder is common for him or her.
Characteristics of the drunk
A subject who is drunk suffers from alcohol poisoning . This occurs when an amount of alcohol enters the bloodstream that the liver cannot metabolize. Intoxication can cause redness of the skin, difficulties maintaining balance, problems coordinating movements, nausea and vomiting. When alcohol poisoning is acute, it can cause death since alcohol causes depression of the central nervous system.

On the other hand, there is a tree called Ceiba speciosa , which is known in everyday speech as a drunkard tree . Its leaf is deciduous and comes from the tropical and subtropical jungles of the South American continent. In addition to this common name, it is also called toborochi, bottle tree, rosewood, female lupuna, samohú and wool tree . In its family we also find the kapok and the baobab , and another tree of its genus, the Ceiba chodatii , is also known as the drunken tree.
Its most outstanding characteristic at first glance is the shape of its trunk, which resembles a bottle ; Generally, its lower third is much wider than the rest of the structure, with a diameter that can reach 2 meters. There it stores the liquid it needs in times of drought. Regarding its height, the normal range is between 6 and 12 meters, but there are several specimens that have reached 25 meters.
Another characteristic that stands out is that it has a series of conical stingers of considerable thickness that serve to protect it. The color of its trunk is green in the youngest ones, since they have large amounts of chlorophyll ; Thanks to this, the drunkard can carry out photosynthesis even without its leaves. As it becomes an adult, it begins to be covered with cracked and rough veins of a darker color.
The branches of the drunken stick also have many stingers that protect them; Its orientation is usually horizontal, and its leaves have between 5 and 7 extensive leaflets. The flower produced by this tree is very particular: in the center it is white and turns pink as it reaches the periphery of its petals; Its diameter is between 10 and 15 centimeters and it has an appearance similar to that of the hibiscus flower.
Both hummingbirds and monarch butterflies pollinate it, since its nectar is especially attractive to them. In lower latitudes, the drunkard tree has flowers all year round, while in higher latitudes at 30° they are only born between January and June.
