the.com/soberness
The art of feeling everything without a chemical middleman.
means The state of being sober — clear-headed and free from the influence of alcohol or other intoxicants, in body and often in judgment too.
from Built from 'sober' plus the suffix '-ness,' which turns a quality into a state of being. 'Sober' itself traces back through Old French 'sobre' to Latin 'sobrius,' likely a combination of 'se-' (without, apart from) and 'ebrius' (drunk) — the same 'ebrius' that gives us 'inebriated.' So at its root, soberness is quite literally the condition of being without drunkenness, the negative space left when intoxication is subtracted.
