According the Guinness Book of World Records, “drunk” holds the world’s record for the word with the most synonyms; as many as 2,241 and counting.

Apparently, when we’re drunk, we’re comfortable expressing ourselves with linguistic creativity.

When we’re not drunk, our descriptions are more limited and conventional; often failing to capture the nuances of how we feel.

Frustrated by our inability to creatively express ourselves when we’re sober is maybe why we get drunk.
