Richard muses, "I wonder whether the total number of euphemisms for sexual intercourse is greater than that for drunkenness?"

In the spirit of inquiry, let us collect euphemisms for drunkenness -- brain power only. They're numerous, so lets arrange them to make it easy to review and see whether an entry is new. Kicking it off:
  • A to G: blind, blind-drunk, drunk, drunk as a skunk, feeling no pain, fried
  • H to M: juiced
  • N to R: pixilated, plastered, pissed
  • S to Z: shicker, snookered, sodden, soused, three sheets to the wind, wasted
(16 so far)

It hardly is fair for me to cite these because I have that book with 2000+ of them! One of my favorites from there is "daquifried."

BTW, "plough" was described as a sexual intercourse word too in the other thread. What is it about ploughing? Wink

Now see what I've started!

From memory: Brahms; elephant's; one over the eight; legless; blotto; paralytic; had a skinful; well-oiled; out of his skull; pickled; stewed; rat-arsed; stinko.
