醉

intoxicated

醉 = 卒 + 酉 : Zapatista Zebra (zu), the rooster (酉) and the soldier (卒) all drank too much (醉). Now, they are standing on top of each other (like the town musicians of Bremen: the rooster on top of the soldier, the soldier on top of the zebra) and puking into the Eiffel Tower's toilet (ei4) in turns.
