About This Quote

When someone is drunk, they are not aware of the world around them because they are not in control of their thoughts. They are sometimes referred to as being out of their mind. When someone is drunk they may display erratic behaviors, which is why this quote is associated with alcohol abuse. However, it can also be used to describe someone who has lost all sense of reason after drinking too much because they are now completely out of control.
