Popular term for a drunken stupor after excessive alcohol consumption. The state of drunkenness is described as "no longer being able to see the stars in the sky". In Hesse, the phrase "having a star" is also used for this. See also other expressions under intoxication.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
