Idle #writing question: which is more correct, "drunk on pain" or "drunk with pain"? "Drunk from pain" doesn't look right somehow. Anyone? Other thoughts?
"Drunk with power" but "Drunk on whiskey". Why the difference?
I'm in a lot of pain today. Thus the ramble. Thank you for any responses!

@Lionesslady I'm thinking 'with' though not sure why. I'm a pain sufferer so I am interested in hearing more. Are you describing something you've felt* or is this strictly for a character you are writing?
I fear I can't be much help because I'm currently:
pain-drunk
drunk from pain
drunk with pain
&
drunk on pain
*Yes! You answered this already in your post. That's how pain affects me, while composing my toot -- it required several drafts! -- I lost focus.
