A member asked:
Could you become drunk from lack of sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but.: Lack of sleep makes you sleepy, makes you clumsy, and impairs ability to think, make decisions, or remember things. Alcohol also causes the same symptoms. So you might appear drunk from lack of sleep, although you would not really be drunk.
