puddle drunk

“The ordinary person is like a drunkard lying in a mud puddle. Someone arouses him and says, “This puddle is no place to be lying down in.” The drunkard glares angrily and says, “I have never drunk alcohol - why do you slander me?” These days the whole world suffers from the drunkard’s illness. How can I find one who isn’t drunk to talk with?” (Zibo (1543-1604))
