Fu' as a puggie.
Used only in Scotland and exile enclaves,I think, and the 'puggie' here refers to the heap of coins pressing against the toughened glass window on the front of antiquated one-arm bandits. As 'puggie' in Scots also translates as 'monkey' the phrase could be taken as 'drunk as a monkey'.
