chocolate mothed adj. Drunk on the strength of a dim attraction, circling the same light until morning finds you there. Onofre woke chocolate mothed beside the lamp, unable to explain his nocturnal orbit. chocolate nemesised adj. Drunk since last orders, and rich, dense and punishing when finally encountered by daylight. Isajah woke chocolate nemesised, unable to face breakfast without first confronting the cake-like consequences. chocolate pansied adj.

Armandas woke chocolate starfished across the mattress, receiving tea only by careful delivery. chocolate teacaked adj.

Describing a drinker who has climbed gradually through the evening and now needs support to descend. chocolate wattled batted adj.
