Shattered.
Shozzled.
Steamboats.
Rotted.
Wasted.
Pissed.
Totalled.
Paralytic.
Air mhisg (Scottish Gaelic for "drunk").
Yopparai (Japanese for "drunk"), which usually leads to waking up with a...futsuka-yoi (hangover)...Not a problem for a serious aru-chuu like myself.
One of the more interesting terms related to drinking that I heard whilst living in Japan was hidari uchiwa-san, "Mr. left-fan," or an idle personage who holds a fan with his left hand and uses his right hand expressly for pouring and drinking sake. This is the way of life that I aspire to when I grow up...
Remember ladies & gentlemen: the party isn't over until there's only Cinzano Bianco left to drink.

My favorite is a Maine-ism: has an edge on
Usage: Did Pat have an ede on last night?
I dunno, but his breath could've stripped the varnish from a brand-new oar.
I love this quote from Dean Martin: You know you're drunk when you're lying on the floor and have to hold on.

Nobody has mentioned: Blouthered!
I used to love that quote. Then I had an attack of Labyrinthitis - and infection of the inner ear. I could not move my head an inch without puking up. I was trapped in the toilet at one of my customer's sites. The Dean Martin quote describes it exactly. I had to hold on to the floor. They had to peel me off it. And all without touching a drop...chas wrote: I love this quote from Dean Martin: You know you're drunk when you're lying on the floor and have to hold on.
Wizard needs whiskey, badly!
- Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table
David Hume could out consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed

From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.
