Adjacent to the left wall of my house there is a street. The fifth room in the street is hired by a middle aged man who lives there alone.
Today evening I saw him staggering along the road. I know he is a drunkard.
Ten minutes later I saw him again staggering along the street.
Within about half an hour I saw him five times walking like a drunkard.
I couldn't hold myself and when he was passing for the fifth time, I went to him, caught his arm and asked why he was passing from there.
His reply made me burst into laughter. He said he was looking for his room, but was unable to find it.
Catching his arm I led him to his room which is hardly 25 yards from my house.
He was so much under the influence of liquor that he crossed his room five times, but couldn't find it.

We see the odd really drunk person here
But not as often as the old days
Well done on helping the guy find his room

@Ineeddentures You are right. One of my childhood friends is a officer in a.tea garden. He has started drinking. He says drinking helps him be sociable with fellow officers.

Well drinking booze can be quite relaxing
And drinking with other people is sociable

Thank you. He was drunk and crossed his room as many as five times, but couldn't realise he had reached his room.
