Summary

This quote suggests that when an old man is intoxicated, he regresses to a state of being childlike again. It implies that alcohol not only affects physical and cognitive faculties but also brings about a similar vulnerability and simplicity that children possess. The comparison highlights the loss of inhibitions and responsibilities in an intoxicated state, leading to a regression in behavior and mentality.
