After drinking and good chatting about good old days, the characters leave the bar and go for dinner. The man feels better. Prior to that, he has felt out of place and insecure as he is behind the enemy line. (He is sort of spy) from Brilliance by Marcus Sakey
When they left he was feeling good, not wasted but centainly on the way, the world slippy around the edges. She hailed them an electric cab and gave the driver the instructions.
So, does it mean he is drunk and see the world slippy???
Thank you in advance for your kind help!!! That means a lot!

his vision was somewhat blurred
I don't think it's that he couldn't walk, I think it's that he was perceiving that slight delay in his vision – especially the peripheral vision – that one gets when on the way to being drunk.
