Mere excitement from the use of intoxicating liquors is not such drunkenness as will enable a party to avoid his contract; such excitement and drunkenness must be excessive and absolute, so as to suspend the reason and create impotence of mind at the time of entering into the contract; absolute drunkenness does not mean complete insensibility, and the use of this phrase in the instruction does not render it objectionable. Cavender v. Waddingham, 5 Mo. App. 457.
