Thread Name: Folklore: How do you say drunk?
Subject: BS: How do you say drunk?
After our show the other night one of my musical partners comments about how various cultures have many different ways for referring to being drunk. He then began listing the many ways he knew of and indeed there were many. I drove the hour or so back home that evening fighting the static on my AM radio as I made my way back up into the foothills, trying to find something to listen to, and began to consider this a worthwhile quesion to put forth here. There are good number of us who perform in clubs and pubs everywhere. We've seen prime examples of this and many of us have been there ourselves. So, just for fun, how many different ways can you say drunk where you're from?
