Blind drunk is a stage of drunkenness in which one is incapable of recognizing the persons and objects around oneself.
The blind drunk stage is a later stage of drunkenness that usually precedes the stage of passing out. People often arrive at the passing-out stage without experiencing the blind drunk stage at all.
Controlled scientific tests might, conceivably, show this to be related to fatigue _ a fatigued person would succumb to alcohol and pass out before arriving at the blind drunk stage. On the other hand, such tests might also draw a connection between alcohol tolerance and the ability to become incoherent and visually impaired without first becoming unconscious.
Consequently, blind drunkenness might be a state reserved for those who are well_rested, or it might be a state related to alcohol tolerance.
You don't have to be blitzed to be blinddrunk, a new study shows.
One stiff drink is all it takes to cause "inattentional blindness," a condition where people fail to detect unexpected objects in their field of vision while focusing on another task.
The study reveals that people who are at half the legal intoxication limit in the United States—which is set at.08 blood alcohol concentration—were heavily compromised in their ability to notice an unexpected visual object while focusing on another simple task.
