sober up Explanation: One of those nouns that do not readily have a noun equivalent in English. Verb structure "sober up" would do the trick here: e.g. "I (he/she etc.) felt I (he/she etc.) was beginning to sober up" or some similar structure. Hope this helps. |

peer agreement (net): +2gloomy stage of drunkenness Explanation: A tricky concept to translate. Perhaps something like: "He was starting to come down and enter the gloomy stage of drunkenness" "the drink was starting to wear off, making him dull and glum". |
