Dear teachers!!
Tom likes to take a drink because it makes him see double and feel single.
----->
(1) What does "see double" mean?
(2) What does "feel single" mean?
Thank you in advance. |

When you drink a lot of alcohol your vision may be impaired, blurry and you may see 1 object as two.
Feel single implies that he is married (unhappily). When he drinks he forgets about this and thinks about how happy he was when he was not married (single) |
