EXCESS

Very quickly: it's well-known that the number of synonyms in a given vernacular are revealing of that nation/culture's hang-ups. I heard on the radio the other day that this is relevant to the UK right now, regarding our "binge drinking" culture. The article said (without giving a list) that we have an inordinate number of words to describe the state of being intoxicated. Hmm. I considered this for about half a second and immediately realised they were onto something. Here are the ones I can think of:

mullered
trolleyed
hammered
caned
walloped
pissed
paralytic
wasted
brained

But there must be more, right? I don't think "drunk" counts. It's too mild.
