What does DRUNK mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Affected by alcohol to the point of impaired speech, movement, or judgment.
Drunk describes the state itself rather than the person, which is why grammar rules traditionally call for saying the man is drunk instead of a drunk man. As a noun, however, drunk shifts to label the person, either casually for someone intoxicated at a given moment or, in its harsher sense, for someone who drinks heavily and often. The word can also extend figuratively, as when someone is drunk on power or drunk with excitement.
How DRUNK is used
Standard for describing alcohol intoxication, and additionally used as an informal noun for an intoxicated person.
