insobriety
State of inebriation
Insobriety is the state of being drunk or intoxicated—the opposite of sobriety.
The word is formal and somewhat dated, appearing more often in legal or medical contexts than casual speech: The officer noted signs of insobriety.
It covers intoxication from alcohol or other substances.
