The term "dry drunk" means, simply, an alcoholic who is, at the moment, sober, but still suffering from the effects (physical and psychological) of his addiction.
Here is a brief description from wikipedia.com :
Dry drunk is a term used, often disparagingly, by members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and by substance abuse counselors who subscribe to the AA theory of alcoholism to describe the recovering alcoholic who is no longer drinking but whose thought processes are considered to continue to be distorted by the thought patterns of addiction.
. . . .It is believed in AA groups that a person who quits drinking without embracing the tenets of AA as the means to quit drinking will experience many unpleasant feelings and exhibit maladaptive behaviors. These feelings are said to include despair, anger, rage, depression of mood or clinical depression, and anxiety and are expressed in behavior stemming from those types of feelings. This dry drunk state is thought to lead, virtually without exception, to the resumption of an even more intensive and harmful drinking spree.

a dry drunk is someone who quits drinking but suffers from the unresolved issues that made him or her drink in the first place.

I don't drink - but I think this means that a person arrives to a bar or party already drunk. Another words, they've done excessive drinking elsewhere. When they arrive at another location, they are dry-drunk. Or they haven't had a drink yet - but they are already smashed.

I think it means that a person acts as if they were drinking, but are not, as in "dry" (not drinking) They act as if they were drinking in order to be "funny" or act a certain way to compensate for the fact that "people like them better that way" rather than being themselves.

In AA we say that to refer to someone who is still just as much a jerk sober as they were drunk. It means the only thing that has changed is one's drinking. Not one's life or personality. Surrender to win!!!!
