Voice means that although dazed or semi-conscious, the patient responds to the sound of the human voice. Pain that although apparently unconscious the patient responds to a pain stimulus.

Namely Acrimonious, Vomiting, Peeing/Pissing, Unconscious. In these [particular] cases Acrimonious means aggressive and quarrelsome, Vomiting means suffering from nausea or actually vomiting, Peeing/Pissing means that they have [lost control] of their bladder and possibly bowels as well and Unconscious that they are out cold either sleeping it off or dying from [alcohol poisoning].
