I wasn't drunk, I was sleep deprived. I DO admit that my mental capacity while sleep deprived looks a lot like the mental capacity of a drunk...but I happen to get dizzy and nauseous at the mere smell of alchohol, so the chance for me to be drunk is pretty slim, if not negligible.
In case you're unaware of it, "Go home, X, you're drunk" is something of an internet meme; paper-machine wasn't making a serious accusation.
(One instance of this trope that's attached to stuff that might amuse a fair fraction of LW readers: Go home, evolution, you are drunk. (Actual title "WTF, Evolution?" but the GHYAD meme is in the "About" section at the right.)
It isn't generally used with sentients, though.
