Just about every culture indulges in the drink. And almost as many partake in the bastardisation of the English language (especially the Poms :D ) giving rise to a great many words (and quite a few non-words) used to describe the various stages of intoxication. Tanked, plastered, mashed or crunked. How's it said in your neck of the woods?

Sever, forgive me for my imminent adventure into off-topic foppery, but I feel an irrepressible bardic urge coming on...

*cough cough*.

This is a sonnet I dedicated to one of my first intoxicated experiences, which consisted of a mere ten stubbies of Guiness at the wee age of 20 during uni.

To Inebriation (A Hymn of Experience)

Long life hath I abstained, awash alone with lonely loitering moon.
Conservative eyes gleam over a solution enigmatic, how I do swoon!
The Fountain of Happiness forever elusive, is but transient joy.
Black are the dreadful doubts, and to experience I do employ.
Gold emblazoned cloud and liquid glitter and echo curiousity in my mind,
Silence immersed in a mountain of Bacchus thought, unrefined!
One tiny draught beckons successive consumption, Oh frothly thick amber and stoutly toxic tar!
Descending into submissive depths of insobriety, actions too bizarre,
A contrariness from mundane normality, contrite neon dome-light glowing ever so!
Adjourn all Sophistry, Adieu now amorphous wavering convictions shallow!
Inundated upon this epiphany, an isolated moment of whimsical haze.
The Demon incarnate instils a sinister assurance, oh so glazed.
In golden fields of meadow wheat and parley rye,
I lie so ever mesmerised.
I gaze indolently on sweet lulling Inebriate, and am goaded to drowse and enterprise.

Cheers to everyone. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Crunked? *scratches chin and wanders off stage to the boos and hisses searching for the next barrel of ale*.

Smashed, blasted, rip-roaring drunk, snockered, three sheets to the wind, plastered, tipsy....

Wasted, Sh*t-faced, lit, liquored up, and of course the most popular, just plain F'd up. :D

er, LZ stole all of mine...must be the voice of experience... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hammered (which can lead to getting nailed :D ), smashed...*searches in vain for other eumphemisms*...

erm...and "drunk" and "inebriated"

Nuchter, aangeschoten, zwaar aangeschoten, dronken, bezopen, straalbezopen, zat, ladderzat, laveloos, bewusteloos, coma, dood.

Mortal, p***ed, drunk, plastered

There all I can think of at the moment.

Gooned, ripped, loaded...

Drunk, F'ed up, or "had to many to drink", wasted... A dude came to a football game drunk a few weeks ago and puked all over the place. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
