I have a friend who refers to this state as legless. Just so. :-)

"There's devils on each side of you

With bottles in their hands,

You'll need one more drop of poison

And you'll dream of foreign lands..."

Great list. Legless is awesome.

plastered

shitfaced

intoxicated

inebriated

under the influence

snackered

skanked

oh, I could go on for days making up funny-sounding ones, but that's not fair. Anyway, great list! Thanks for quoting the Pogues!

Thanks everyone! I was hoping someone might come 'round and help me out. I knew there were more out there, but I was completely blanking.

chained_bear: after seeing The Pogues list I couldn't resist the quote when I thought to do a drinking list.

blotto and blitzed come to mind... I have an easier time remembering these when I think of someone saying "Oh, he was just *completely* _____." Then words just pop into one's head...

Najp, I found this in the OED today:

fubar. Bungled, ruined, messed up. Also: extremely intoxicated.

Wasn't fubar originally an acronym for "f***ed up beyond all recognition"?

Irish-English expressions -

stocious, langers, knackered, polluted, petrified,fluthered,bolloxed and my favorite circling over shannon, which refers to Boris Yeltsin's infamous visit to Ireland. He was too drunk to get off the plane, so they circled the airport six times before landing to sober him up.

Sionnach, that's classic! I'd never heard that particular Yeltsin story.

Pamelad: tired and emotional strike me as just ways people react to drinking more than things they'd call being drunk. But I like paralytic.

Sionnach: Thanks especially for knackered. I kept wanting it for the list, but thinking only of knickered, which I suppose may happen with enough drink...

I've always heard/used snockered rather than snackered. How 'bout looped?

I was also surprised, upon revisiting this list, to see that sloshed isn't included! Wonder if NAJP is still around?
