Ojibwas
Ojibwas refers to the invisible, intangible influences that cause an inebriated person to act in an unusual and possibly embarrassing manner. Ojibwas can be likened to pixies or gremlins that haunt drunk people and it is due to these mystical creatures that people who have been drinking seem to act "drunk".
