blind drunk

Unable to see straight

Blind drunk means extremely intoxicated—so drunk that perception and judgment are severely impaired, as if one cannot see straight.

The phrase emphasizes total incapacitation rather than mild inebriation: He came home blind drunk at three in the morning.

Sometimes shortened to just blind in British usage.
