Euphemisms for "drunken"
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:(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
