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.

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...

  • 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

Tired and emotional
"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jested, quaff'd and swore."

They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
