"Drunken sword" is a special sword style exhibiting the state of being drunk. The practitioner staggers, as if they're intoxicated. In ancient times, Taoist priests lived in the mountains and used to carry with them alcohol for medicinal purposes. When they got tipsy, they would dance with their swords. In their state of stupor, they believed that the sword merged with their body and they had finally reached the point where man and nature are one.
