@JTT,
I don't think "could be accurate" is sensible.
It's sneaky though. It seeks to make a particular impression without having the nerve to stand on its own feet. And "think" adds to the sneakiness.
"Soused is an accurate description", is okay, although I'm not sure descriptions fits with accuracy. Accuracy is what it is. One records it.
You'll never be a writer JT. The proof readers will see to that.
