a state of intoxication where the said "
drunk" person did not have a sip of alcohol but seems to be in an intoxicated state. Mostly prevalent in the
Irish or Celtic
people because of their inherited ability to absorb alcohol from the air, with a high enough concentration.
At the wedding, young Patrick and Bridget seemed to be
drunk even though they could not possibly be. Aunt Eileen nudged her
husband and said "must be the second-hand drunkness."
