When I get drunk, why do I look drunk? I mean, what physically happens?

Certainly depends on your intoxication level.

Suffice to say, alcohol contributes to a temporary condition called ataxia - which is an impairment of your balance and motor coordination. It's likely a result of the alcohol slowing down or impairing the communication of a part of your brain called your "cerebellum". The cerebellum controls much of your motor skills. 

With the impairment in communication (the communication works through a complex mechanism best simplified as electrical wires) one develops traditional ataxia signs such as

* unsteady gait
* slurred speech (can't control jaw)
* clumsiness of their hands and movement
* double vision

The ataxia (and its symptoms) get progressively more severe as one gets progressively more drunk.
