    What exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean one of the times Haymitch is completely intoxicated? Like at the beginning of the chapter when he cannot get up out of puddle of his own vomit and has to have Peeta take care of hime for the night.

    that could be one but more to the point of his behavior and slow meandering way he talks and moves.

    Please answer this. I am assuming that the answer includes a quotation.... Ms. G.

    "For a few moments, Peeta and i take in the scene of our mentor trying to rise out of the slippery vile stuff from his stomach. The reek of vomit and raw spirits almost brings my dinner up. We exchange a glance. Obviously Haymitch isn't much, but Effie Trinket is right about one thing, once we're in the arena, he's all we've got. As if by some unspoken agreement, Peeta and I each take one of Haymitch's arms and help him to his feet.
    "I tripped?" Haymitch asks. "Smells bad." he wipsess his hand on his nose, smearing his face with vomit.
    "Let's get you back to your room," says Peeta. "Clean you up a bit."
    We half-lead half-carry Haymitch back to his compartment.Since we can't exactly set him down on the embriodered bedspread, we haul him into the bathtub and turn the shower on him. He hardly notices."
