Slang: Happy New Year ^_^

Well, it's almost New Year's Eve. That is the most popular time for people to have crazy, late parties and drink a looot of alcohol.

In English, we have many, many adjectives that mean 'really drunk' (drank too much alcohol).

Here's a short list. There are a lot more:

pissed *

plastered

smashed

sozzled

shit-faced *

blotto

legless

off one's face (eg, 'he's off his face')

paralytic/paro

pickled

trashed

sloshed

wasted

inebriated

* = more rude

All of these words are slang (not polite) except 'inebriated', which is more formal/polite.

Which ones are most common? Well, it really depends where you are (which country, who you are talking to). I, personally, tend to use 'plastered', 'smashed', 'wasted' and 'off one's face'.

But what if you're not wasted, but just drank a little? All of the above words mean really drunk. If you're only a little drunk, use the adjective 'tipsy'. And if you are not drunk at all, you are sober.

Are you gonna get plastered this year? Take care! ^_^ Happy New Year!
