Thread Name: Folklore: The Thousand Names of Drunk
Subject: RE: Folklore: The Thousand Names of Drunk
I have seen a statement that "drunk" is the word with the largest number of slang synonyms in English. For a list in 2 pages of fine print, see _Slang and Euphemism_ by Richard A. Spears (Jonathan David Publishers, 1981) s.v. woofled.

I am not quite burning with a low blue flame as I write this, but the other day (a recognized occasion) I split a bottle of bubbly with a buddy who only took one glass.
