Drŭnk, a.

a. [From drŭnken. See DRINK.] 1. Overcome by drinking; intoxicated; inebriated; the same as DRUNKEN;—never used attributively, but always predicatively; as, the man is drunk, but not a drunk man. Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess. Eph. v. 18. 2. Drenched or saturated with moisture or liquor. I will make my arrows drunk with blood. Deut. xxxii. 42. Drunk was formerly used as the past participle of drink; as, he had drunk wine. But in modern usage, drank has to a great extent taken its place, and drunk is now used chiefly as an adjective. See DRINK.
