Yes, it is often used to describe staying sober or regaining clarity after drinking. 'Hän halusi pitää mielensä kirkkaana eikä ottanut viiniä.'

'Mielensä' is the standard form for the 3rd person. 'Mieltään' is partitive and used in different structures, like 'hän muutti mieltään' (he changed his mind).

It's not too formal, but it sounds serious. Use 'pysy skarppina' if you're just joking around.

In this context, it means 'clear' or 'transparent', like a window or water, rather than 'bright' like a lamp.
