soberising
Losing one's intoxication
Soberising is the British spelling of soberizing—making someone or something more sober, or becoming more sober oneself.
The word can describe the literal process of alcohol leaving the system, but more often refers to experiences that bring clarity or seriousness: The news had a soberising effect on the room.
A soberising thought dampens enthusiasm or forces confrontation with reality.
