Summary
This quote suggests that the true measure of being drunk is not how much alcohol one consumes, but rather the loss of control over one's body. If a person is able to lie on the floor without needing to hold on for support, it implies that they still have some level of physical stability and control. In other words, the quote implies that as long as a person can maintain their balance and composure, they are not considered truly intoxicated.
