inebriety
State of drunkenness
Inebriety is the state of being drunk.
The word is formal and somewhat dated, more likely to appear in legal or medical contexts than casual speech: The officer noted signs of inebriety.
It carries a clinical distance that words like drunkenness or intoxication don't always have.
