It’s not something to be proud of, but people from the UK have a reputation all over the world for drinking far too much alcohol!
In fact, there are few things more British than going to the pub, whether that’s after work, at the weekend, or even during a lunch break. Sunny days in the UK might be rare, but within minutes of the sun coming out, you will start to smell smoke rising from barbeques and hear people opening cans of beer. On a summer’s afternoon in England, public parks are full of people with picnics and bottles of wine.
It’s true that drinking alcohol plays a much bigger role in British culture than in many other countries, and so it’s not surprising that the Brits have hundreds – perhaps even thousands – of terms and slang words that mean “drunk”.
Here are 25 popular expressions about being drunk. Some of these words and phrases are ruder than others, but most of them are considered funny, rather than likely to cause offence!
-
Inebriated
This is actually a very formal word for drunk, but people often say it to sound funny. In fact, people often use very “proper” or “posh” language to describe being drunk. The joke is in the difference between how ridiculous people look and sound when they have had too much alcohol, and using very formal language that doesn’t fit the context.
-
Legless
This is a very common way of describing someone as drunk, for example “he got totally legless last night!”. It hints at the fact that people often find it harder to walk (or use their legs) when they’ve had too much to drink.
-
Out of It
This doesn’t always mean drunk, but it often does. If you say “I’m out of it” it means you’re finding it hard to concentrate or focus, or you are not really aware of what is happening around you.
-
Sloshed
This simply means “drunk”, but it’s associated with or older, more upper-class language. Most of the time when people use it they are trying to sound funny.
-
Sozzled
Like “sloshed”, this is a posher way of saying drunk, that most people would find funny.
-
Out of Your Tree
This refers to someone who is so drunk that they are behaving very strangely or can’t behave in a normal way.
-
Off Your Trolley
The same as “out of your tree”.
-
Wasted
A common word for drunk that’s used both in Britain and the US.
-
Tipsy
This means that you’re feeling a little bit drunk – but not too much! You might also hear people say something like “that wine has gone to my head”, which means they’re feeling a bit tipsy.
10, 11 & 12. Hammered, Smashed, Plastered
These are all words that you only really hear in the UK that mean the same thing: “very drunk”
-
Got Your Beer Goggles On
This means that you aren’t seeing things quite as they are because you’re drunk. For example “That guy looks quite cute” “No he’s not, you’ve got your beer goggles on” (or “that’s your beer goggles talking”).
-
On the Lash
To drink heavily on a night out, for example “We’re going out on the lash tonight”.
-
Pissed / Pished
Strictly speaking, “pissed” (or “pished” in Scotland) is a swear word and you shouldn’t use it in a formal, professional or school context. However it is probably the most commonly used word in the UK to describe being drunk. If you spend any time in the UK, you will hear it all the time. Just remember that in the US, it means angry, not drunk, or you could find yourself having some very confusing conversations!

Формы слова
noun
ед. ч.(singular): drunk
мн. ч.(plural): drunks
The UK has an entirely different relationship with alcohol consumption from what people in the United States are used to. While drinking is obviously common in the US, it isn’t joked about with the same degree that you’ll see British people joking about it.
This difference in culture has caused the number of drinking-related slang words to expand exponentially in the UK. Most of them are hilarious, witty, and refreshingly original.
In this list, we’ll be showing you a bunch of British slang words for drunk. We’ll also provide a few examples, so you understand how they’re used.
Sit back with your favorite drink and let’s get started…
A
A Wee Bit Jolly
Meaning:
- (Expression): A gentler, more polite way to indicate someone has had a bit much too drink. This isn’t quite at the point of being blackout drunk.
- Example: “Don’t mind my father – he’s a wee bit jolly.”
Absolutely Badgered
Meaning:
- (Adjective): To be absolutely badgered is to be completely, horribly drunk. Use this one to describe someone who’s well past the point of no return.
- Example: “Let’s go to the pub and get absolutely badgered tonight.”
Absolutely Smashed
Meaning:
- (Adjective): This one is the same as absolutely badgered. Treat it similarly.
Annihilated
Meaning:
- (Adjective): Now this is a way to describe someone who’s blackout drunk. Annihilated is well beyond a wee bit jolly and should be reserved for times when you’re stumblingly inebriated.
- Example: “Sarah got absolutely annihilated in the pub last night. We had to carry her out the door.”
Away with the Fairies
Meaning:
- (Expression): A fun, creative way of saying someone’s gotten a little bit tipsy. You can also use this phrase to imply that someone is acting a little crazy or is unfocused.
- Example: “Sorry about my behavior. I’m away with the fairies at the moment.”

B
Banjaxed
Meaning:
- (Adjective): British slang for drunken that’s short, sweet, and to the point.
- Example: “My boss was banjaxed at the company party.”
Battered
Meaning:
- (Adjective): Drunken. Can be said anytime you would say banjaxed.
Beered Up
Meaning:
- (Adjective): This term describes someone who’s gotten intoxicated as a result of beer.
- Example: “I’m all beered up and ready to party.”
Bevvied
Meaning:
- (Adjective): See banjaxed and battered.
Binned
Meaning:
- (Adjective): A term that simply means drunk. Can be used whenever you’d otherwise say someone is tipsy or inebriated.
Bladdered
Meaning:
- (Adjective): British slang for drunk that may refer to how someone often has to urinate while they’re drunk.
- Example: “He’s so bladdered, he’s gone and pissed himself.”
Blathered
Meaning:
- (Adjective): Another term that means drunk. Synonymous with banjaxed.
Blitzed
Meaning:
- (Adjective): A drunken person.
Blootered
Meaning:
- (Adjective): Less common and fun way of describing someone who’s had too much to drink.
Blotto
Meaning:

- Example: “I got completely blotto’d this weekend. Don’t remember any of it.”
Bog-Faced
Meaning:
- (Adjective): When you realize that “bog” is British slang for toilet, this phrase makes a lot of sense. It refers to when you’re so drunk, you end up vomiting into a toilet.
- Example: “He’s going to get bog-faced quickly if he doesn’t pace himself with his drinks.”
Boiled in the Bag
Meaning:
- (Expression): Old expression that means someone has had way too much drink. You can treat this one like “absolutely badgered,” for example.
Bollocksed
Meaning:
- (Adjective): Bollocks is the British word for balls. When you say, “dog’s bollocks,” it’s a good thing…but when someone is bollocksed, they’re stupidly drunk.
- Example: “Sorry for the things I said while I was bollocksed last night.”
Boozed-Up
Meaning:
- (Adjective): To be drunk on any type of alcohol. You can say it the same way you’d say, “beered up,” but can use it to refer to booze in general and not just beer.
Buggered
Meaning:
- (Adjective): Like bollocks, bugger is a famous British insult. It’s not surprising that “buggered” can also mean you’ve gotten stupidly drunk!
Buzzed
Meaning:
- (Adjective): To be drunk. This slang term is also somewhat common in the United States.
C
Can’t Lie Down without Holding On
Meaning:
- (Expression): A phrase that means someone is so drunk, they’ve gotten ridiculously clumsy.
- Example: “She’s so buzzed, she can’t lie down without holding on.”
Chemically Unbalanced
Meaning:
- (Adjective): A British euphemism for when someone has drunk too much booze. This one is a fun, humorous, and still delicate take on the concept.
- Example: “Excuse the strange things my aunt says. She’s chemically unbalanced at the moment.”
Clobbered
Meaning:
- (Adjective): Another way of just saying that you’re drunk.
Comfortably Numb
Meaning:
- (Adjective): Another delicate and humorous euphemism for being drunk.
- Example:
- Person 1: “How’re you feeling right now?”
- Person 2: “I’m comfortably numb.”
D
Drunk as a Judge
Meaning:
- (Expression): An old turn of phrase that means someone is quite drunk. We’re not really sure how this one originated, but it paints a colorful picture.

Fecked
Meaning:
- (Adjective): You might hear this slang word for drunk in Northern Ireland. Feck is a fairly common version of “fu**” there.
- Example: “Here’s a word of advice: don’t show up to your job interview fecked.”
Feeling Absolutely No Pain Whatsoever
Meaning:
- (Expression): A gentlemanly way of telling someone that you’re drunk. It’s kind of like saying comfortably numb.
- Example:
- Person 1: “Are you doing all right, mate?”
- Person 2: “Don’t worry about me. I’m feeling absolutely no pain whatsoever.”
Fermented
Meaning:
- (Adjective): When some foods are fermented, they become alcoholic. The same word can be used to describe a person who’s drunk so much alcohol, they’re practically comprised of it.

DRUNK
пьяный, вполне словарный термин. Дадим пару нетривиальных примеров его употребления:
Drunkard — ночной поезд в субботу.
Drunk as a skunk — у нас бы сказали: «Напился в зюзю». Насчет зюзи мы не уверены, но скунс точно не пьет. Правда и радости от него, как мы знаем, немного — не больше чем от вонючего пьянчужки.
