The current definition of "Drunken Forest" is

trees leaning in random directions caused by melting permafrost.

  1. Trees do not (always) lean in "random" directions but towards slumps in the permafrost. Suggest using "various" or similar instead.
  2. Aggradation of permafrost and frost heave can also cause trees to lean.

Could also include mention of fires causing changes in permafrost.
