Drunk & drunken
Heya,
has anybody got an idea what the difference between drunk and drunken is. And in which sentence you'd rather use it. I mean is it perfectly alright to say,
I am drunk or would you rather say I am drunken
and what about the noun, would he rather say He is a drunk? or He is a drunken?
I don't really get the difference!!!
