    Gassed.

    As a mate I used to work with used to say about nurses (he married one) "Get them gassed as a parrot and they go like rabbits."

    Its interesting that different words for drunk can also relate to a particular state of drunkenness.

    Like, to me 'mouldy' is when you've been drinking for a long time and your not just hammered but also exhausted. Like the last night of a stag weekend.

    Bullafits - anyone from Monaghan know that one? Knew a lad from Blaney that used to say that

    Gee eyed
    Fluttered
    Walking easy
    Demented with drink

    First they came for the socialists...

    For us "mowldy drunk (with very definite emphasis on that one syllable) means so far gone in drink the person cannot be understood.

    Two that are rarely used but which I have heard several times over the years are ‘lorded’ and ‘gone wrong’.

    I like that one :D

    Not for being drunk but sometimes we say if someone looks at you funny, "he looked at you (as if you were) gone out"

    Pished
    Aff your heed
    Rather tipsy
    Bullseyed
    Rat arsed
    Sozzled
    Oot your tree
    Pure steamboats
    Scuttered
    Cunted

    Pretty sure my step mum used these more than once to describe me at 2am. (Rural Scotland. A "nightclub" was a hedge and whatever you got to take out in the pub)

    I'm sure they've all been mentioned before, but here are my favourites -

    Pissed - Straight to the point.
    Fcked - See above.
    Ballubas - Not as popular these days, but it should be. It's just a great word to say.
    Paralytic - Good for distinguishing the extremely drunk.
    Wasted - When they've gone beyond.
    Well on it - As in, "your man is well on it."
    Ossified - Makes it nearly sound dignified.
    Steaming - Something very animalistic about it.
    Wankered - The demon drink has broken you down into your inner wanker.

    Another one that hasn't been mentioned is "drunk as a skunk"
