Did Noah get drunk because he failed to account for a change in atmospheric pressure after the flood?

I am sorry to laugh, but no, the airplane effect, no. If anything, the pressure that was different after the flood would have come in gradually, nothing that would affect the mental apprehension of Noah so that he was beside himself and could not help drinking a bottle of wine. That is certainly not the context given to us in Genesis 9. The context is that he is going to hit the bottle because he has not had any in about a year, and it was a harrowing experience he had to go through. He was imprisoned in a boat for a year with all the smells, the sounds, the close quarters, feeding the animals, never a good night's sleep, the stench probably unbearable, no relief, no escape. He just wants to relax and have some peace of mind for a bit, and the next thing we find out is that his son and grandson take advantage of his drunkenness. So it is a sad story, but it is not atmospheric pressure; unfortunately it is not.
