Alcohol '''intoxication''' (also known as drunkenness or being drunk or inebriated) is a physiological state occurring when an organism has a high level of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol ethanol] in its bloodstream, or when ethanol otherwise causes the physiological [[effect]] known as drunkenness. In humans, common [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symptom symptoms] may include slurred [[speech]], euphoria, impaired [[balance]], poor coordination, flushed face, reddened eyes, reduced inhibition, and erratic [[behavior]]. In severe cases, drunkenness can cause loss of muscle coordination (ataxia), coma, and even [[death]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_intoxication]
