Drunk. The character combines 酉, the vessel of wine, with 卒 meaning "to finish" — together depicting one who has finished drinking wine to the point of intoxication. The oracle bone and bronze inscriptions show this same composition, with the phonetic element 卒 reinforcing both sound and the sense of completion.
