Re: synonyms in other languages: in Italian, the word for “drunk” is “ubriaco” (oo-bree-AH-ko). In the Florentine dialect, the hard “c” is aspirated as an “h,” and the initial “u” is often dropped.

In his book _Words_, Paul Dickson lists 2,231 synonyms for drink “without resorting to” changes in syntax or "one-liners starting with the phrase “He’s so drunk that”…
Have you consulted this?

Odd coincidences, **Pipeliner**! I was reading this while lurking at work and recalled a long-ago independent study on slang. I’d read about the Aztec “rabbit scale”, too. Maybe they used rabbits because pink elephants weren’t native to Mexico? \
From that same paper, a Quaker euphmism for drunk: **tired**. Gentle, tolerant folks.
