Is this natural English?
The drunk man comes staggering out of the supermarket with a bottle of whisky in his hand. About to take a gulp from it, it slips out of his hand and shatters. He stares vacantly down at the broken bottle and wasted whisky, then turns and heads back into the supermarket.
Please check this for me (and comment if necessary). Is it completely natural English?
If you imagine a very drunk man, is "vacantly" fitting for that or could you think of a better adverb for the situation?
