I’m a big fan of “sloshed”–mostly because it’s so damn hard to say when you’re in the condition. A friend of mine refers to it as “knee-walkin’ drunk.” I like that one, too. ---

I’m also a fan of sloshed. It’s also a good way to judge drunkenness in others: “Hey, how ya feeling? You sound kinda sloshed…” “Swoshed? AHAHAHA! No I’m fine, not swalloshed at all”, ---

I had a friend once who, after way too many glasses of champagne at a wedding reception, looked at me blearily and proclaimed, “I am in Bolivia!” (meaning in oblivion, of course). So around here, if you’re very drunk, you’re in Bolivia. ---
