I think they are all drink related, as in WINE~indulgence Oenophile~made it their business to know about wine from the flavour....they sip and spit so as to not get intoxicated. Interstitial~pause, break between, pace.... between drinks. Stupefy ~ again with alcohol, this time too much. Defalcate~misuse, over indulge, stupefy. Somnolence~all may be effected this way, the Oenophile after enjoying a 'few', the Interstitial even though only 'had a few', the Stupefy has had a 'few too many', and now Somnolence~needing a 'few' ZZZZZZ's now. I put tooooo much thought into it LOL re...olly ~ Kiwi's rule.
