What does the phrase, 酔えば勤王醒めれば佐幕 mean? I know it has to do with 山内容堂 and his nickname 鯨海酔侯, and the sake called 酔鯨. Could it be, "Loyal to emperor when drunk, loyal to the shogunate when sober" ?

はい、そうです。 お酒が好きな山内容堂と、勤王または佐幕と自身の意思が定まらない様子を合わせて表現した内容です。 私は「お〜い!竜馬」という漫画で知りました。結構面白いですよ。 Yes! Your are right. This is a sarcastic expression about him originating from what he loves drinking sake and his unstable behavior about supporting the emperor side or the opposite shogunate size. I learned about this from a manga called 「お〜い!竜馬」. This manga is quite interesting.
