When you are really drunk it effects your judgment and reactions and coordination.

If you take a fall this can mean that you have no idea it’s happening until it’s over, or you have little conscious concept of how dangerous the fall can be. Together with remaining relaxed, rather than tensed up, throughout the fall and impact.

This can be a significant mitigation in the damage suffered in impact.
