Morphology

blind + drunk

The meaning 'extremely drunk; not aware of one's actions' is directly inferable from combining 'blind' (unaware/without perception) with 'drunk' (intoxicated): 'blind' here functions as an intensifier meaning completely unaware. This compositional, metaphorical intensification is common and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the phrase.

Etymology

Blind drunk comes from the image of a person so drunk that they are like someone who is blind, unable to see or notice what they do. So, it means 'extremely drunk' or 'not aware of their actions'.
