Drunkenness; excess in drinking or eating; the resulting illness from overindulgence.
From Latin crapula, possibly derived from Greek kraipalē, meaning drunkenness or a hangover. Related to the concept of excess and its consequences.
This Latin word survived in English because doctors and educated people needed a clinical term for hangover effects—it's one of those sophisticated words we inherited purely for medical description!
