I would say.He was drunk therefore he fell off the pier. I would use the because one too mind. =/

This is a strange one. It's actually correct, if somewhat archaic, rather poetic language. It's not wrong, but if the aim is standard conversational vocabulary then I'd omit it.`he was drunk, he fell off the pier'English grammar is predicated upon removing ambiguity; the onus is very much on the speaker to make the meaning clear to the listener. The use of `therefore' implies that a result is inescapable, whereas the drunk could have collapsed in his own vomit, and stayed on the pier :o)

As an aside, the comment made by pizzaboy180 is known on this side of the pond [England] as `dropping aitches'. It's viewed over here as rather sloppy diction and I'd advise against it - for a learner at least. An example of how this often sounds is the cockney accent. I'd strongly recommend learning accurate diction in the beginning as it helps a great deal when pronouncing more complicated phrases. Easier for the listener at least! :o)

Hey, J. Thanks for watching and the comments. I learned most of my theories from thinking and teaching. YEARS of it. But I am sure you will learn some very useful things from your classes. Feel free to share!
