fuddled

Dazed and bewildered

Fuddled means confused or muddled, especially from drinking alcohol.

A fuddled state suggests befuddlement—thinking that's gone soft and unclear: He emerged from the pub looking fuddled.

The word can describe mental confusion from any cause, though drunkenness remains the typical implication: still fuddled from sleep.
