Speaking of tipsy, here are a few
more booze related terms. Two old words that I miss.
GROG-BLOSSOM, A word from the 18th century for the dilation of blood
vessels caused by long-term over consumption of the drink—in an
alcoholic's nose.
CRAPULENCE, This word, from the Latin root crapula, arose in the
18th century. It denoted intestinal and cranial distress arising
from intemperance and debauchery. Put another way: If you get drunk,
expect crapulence.
