The best term for "very drunk" is...

Brain dead.

bladdered

God’s Own Drunk.
Potted.
You are Astroturf.

I always liked “roaring drunk” and “drunk as a lord”.

My friends and I say “flobbidy dobbity” while wiggling our fingers on our forehead.

I like the phrase from O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin novels: “He was in fact so drunk, drunk even by naval standards…”

I’m fond of “ferschnickered.”

pie eyed

bagged

just gone

out of it

Ahh…that reminds me. I’ve got a small Wodehouse glossary/concordance focusing mainly on the Blandings and Wooster stories, and it includes all the words he used for ‘drunk’. However, each such entry merely refers you to the next one up in the alphabet, and the last one refers you back to the first.

It was something like this:
blotto See ossified.

ossified See pie-eyed.

pie-eyed See squiffy.

squiffy See blotto.

Of course my example is very much abbrieviated. In the actual book there was a word for almost every letter of the alphabet.

Shithoused.

I was shit
na na naa na
housed
ba dah duh

fucked-upper than shit

Crapulous

I’ve always been fond of “Drunk as a lord” or “Deep in his/her/my cups”.

Usually “my”. :smiley:

I like a lot of the euphemisms for drunk, but I think plastered is my favorite in terms of the image I get. The word sounds good too, but the type of drunk imagine when I hear plastered is amusing. Drunk to the point of being pretty much incapacitated, but not sick or passed out. A person who is plastered generally isn’t obnoxiously loud (in my mind), though they may be boisterous. I picture someone in the later stages of drunkeness who is having fun, before things catch up to them.

I give you:

Tore up from the floor up.
Fucked out of the frame

I prefer “toasted”.

The French one: “torchee” (torched), accompanied by the hand making a twisting motion in front of the nose. This simulates twisting the nose itself so that it turns red like the nose of a habitual drunk.

Potchkied.
Stinkin’.
Stinko.
Stinko as the day is long.
Geshtunkener.
Tanked.
Lubricated.
Fried.

No love for “crunk”? My friends and I don’t actually drink, but that’s the word we use to refer to others.

CRUNK = CRazy + drUNK

Yeah, we use it in the South all the time, and I used it in NYC and everyone thought I was really ghetto.
