The clearest version of you, terrifyingly capable of remembering everything.
means Not under the influence of alcohol or drugs; by extension, serious, calm, and clear-headed in judgment.
from From Latin sobrius, the opposite of ebrius, "drunk" — built on a prefix that likely meant "without" stuck onto the root for intoxication. It passed through Old French sobre before settling into English, where it kept both senses: the literal one (no wine in you) and the figurative one (no froth in your thinking). Fittingly, the word for not-drunk is itself a quiet negation of being drunk.
