Gammerstang commented on the word stale drunk
(adjective) - A man is said to be stale drunk when he has been drunk overnight and has doctored himself with stimulants a little too much in the morning and tried too many of the "hairs of the dog that bit him." If this state of things is long continued, it is often called "same old drunk."
