Obviously there’s being high, cranked, amped, baked, stoned, fried, toasted (though I think of that one as drunk), blazed…
think in terms of all kinds of drugs… how many slang terms are there for being inebriated?

Monged.
Battered.
Munted.
Spangled.
Twatted.
Bollocksed.
Sh\*t-faced.
Arseholed.
Squiffy.
Buzzing.
Off one’s face.

Rushing.
At uni I found you can drop almost any noun into a drug/booze statement and it’s understood…
“Last night we drank at least 3 bottles of tequila between us… honestly, I was completely trousered.”

If we’re going to include “buzzed,” then we have to include the stronger form:
tipsy

“monged”? I always heard that was when you dug up a female corpse, freshly interred, and…
Avital Ronell, in _Crack Wars_ had some good ones, but I think there are as many in this thread.
No love for “crunk,” or “tight”?

Oh, yes, I forgot about “hippy flipping.” I always heard “candy flipping” as a one-off on “candy striping” (taking acid and E at the same time, IIRC). Never heard of the hippy flip, though – sounds like a jazz tune written in the 1950s.
