fuddling
Making someone bewildered
Fuddling is drinking alcohol, especially to excess, or the state of being muddled by drink.
The word is old-fashioned and somewhat playful: an evening of fuddling at the tavern.
A fuddling cup is a novelty drinking vessel with interconnected chambers designed to spill on the unwary drinker.
