The mother is drunk because a mother in her right sense would not beat her daughter for no reason.

If it were the daughter, it would've been :A mother beat her daughter who/that was drunk.

The Daughter

The answer is SHE

But why would any of them choose to be drunk before taking to correction either by beating or anyhow they like, they must be from the south.

What am I even saying? Guy! rap the 2 remaining Arizona for me abey.

Elesu:

Cc: Lalasticlala

First of ...let's ask the OP...Shey Nigerian English, British English or American English?

In Nigerian English you don't refer to your elders as "been drunk" so certainly the daughter is drunk to stupor

In American English the woman is drunk and she knows

In British English the woman and the daughter are both drunk and they don't know and it runs in their blood

But why would any of them choose to be drunk before taking to correction either by beating or anyhow they like, they must be from the south.

What am I even saying? Guy! rap the 2 remaining Arizona for me abeg.

She ........ is the answer

ExplicitContent:
Simple -The daughter was the one drunk.

In the sentence it says, 'beat her daughter because she was drunk' .

"because" serves as a conjunction between "daughter" which is a noun following over with the word "she which is an adverb all referring to the daughter..

So the person drunk was the daughter.

hmmm

BigBelleControl:
This is an adverbial clause of reason which modifies the verb drunk which is the reason for the action.

Therefore the daughter is the drunk one.

I agree

The mother was drunk

In my native Igbo language, if you saw that, everybody knows the child was drunk and got punished by her mother. But, in English, only the speaker knows who's drunk here. That's why linguists consider English as the best language for telling lies.
