This is not the origin of the term, actually. The term didn't initially have anything to do with people that had gotten too drunk, it referred to work that hadn't been completed and therefore had to be completed the next day, and came to be associated with drunk people due to the fact that they missed work

Very interesting- and appreciated. It’s funny how with these common sayings that everyone just remembers always being around- the origins can be muddy. Sometimes- they actually have multiple origins that are- to some degree and localization- all correct or some part of a larger truth. Sometimes the most obvious or literal origin is not the the true source. It would be interesting to see what modern turns of phrase or slang persist into future centuries- and where they attribute their origins to. How “Yeet” went from a single dance to its present meaning- and where it may go for example... someday “Yeet” May be used in a formal document or Declaration of Independence that will go in a glass case and be studied by scholars for centuries...

"And as Joan of Arc yote the English out of France, we hereby yeet the oppressor out of our homeland, and declare the Independence of our great nation."

Talking about correct origins. It's also, Jeanne d'Arc and not Joan of Arc.
