虎 means 'tiger'

English speakers see cats and dogs as enemies, but the Japanese and Chinese perceive the dragon and tiger as well-matched rivals. The dragon symbolizes everything from imperial power and water to China itself, whereas the tiger represents earthly matter and India, also inspiring scads of expressions about risks. Meanwhile, both cranes and turtles are emblems of longevity and good fortune. Moreover, the crane appears in proverbs, paintings, origami, ceramics, fabrics, poems, Noh dramas, songs, folktales, and even math problems, as well as figurative expressions, whereas the turtle symbolizes slowness, wisdom, experience, divisiveness, ugliness, and sexual attractiveness.

This bundle presents not only inebriated people but also drunk "animals." The Japanese associate heavy drinkers with 蛇 (because of wordplay and because a giant snake can swallow a lot at once) and with 虎 (given that excessive alcohol makes folks as wild as fierce tigers). But drunks classified as 蛇 versus 虎 behave differently; one is far more annoying. Regarding bad behavior while drunk, the 酔 essay paints a full picture, from driving while sloshed to annoying God! And the 没 essay touches on passing out from drinking ("falling into a sea of drunkenness") and liquor as one's downfall.
