Cybling Boy, seriously, how many different words can you have in Ireland that mean "drunk"? I've been practicing my Irish accent for weeks on end, and now that I have it down, I need to start learning the slang, so I've been studying this site:

I'm noticing a very large amount of words that mean "drunk". And you're young, so I'm sure you know more than what's on that list even.

lol. sorry, i completely looked over this thread!

Oh my god! Hardly anyone says what's on the list. Except for 'Gee-bag'. I find that hilarious, usually gets a laugh out of people. Ok, here are the most common works for drunk around the Dublin area. There's different ones for the different areas in Ireland.

He is:
Pissed
Locked
Plastered
Langered
Bolloxed
In tatters
On the floor (with a thick irish accent)
Off/Out of his head
In the drain
Puking his ring up <- projectile vomitting

Em....i think that's it. The first four are always used the most by far. I'd always say pissed or plastered. Yeah, us Irish have a sayings, there are whole books in the library for it. We say 'feck' a lot, instead of 'f*ck'. If you come over here, you will always hear 'feck'. It's not an offensive word though. It's like me saying 'sugar' instead of 'sh*t'

Did i get any that weren't on the list? Hope that helped..
