is the word sober used correctly? All participants were excited, noone was able to give a sober response.
Top answer
All the participants were excited . No one was able to give a sober response. Technically, yes, but it's come to be linked so closely with the opposite of being drunk that you may create a bit of confusion in the mind of your reader as to whether they were only excited, or also a bit tipsy.
