How Many Ways Can I Say... You're Drunk!?!

Saturday May 20, 2006
Quick, think of every word that you have used to describe someone's drunkeness. How many words and phrases did you come up with? I came up with 44 labels that are commonly used to describe a friend's over indulgence the night before when they ask because they have no clue what happened after 10pm or to analyze the idiot across the bar who cannot seem to figure out the complicated workings of a barstool. If you can use these words to describe yourself or anyone you know, call a cab, get the inebriated person home and start making plans for the morning hangover.

That’s why I don’t drink anymore. I’ve tried Yerba Mate Tea and I can’t quite describe the taste but I like it. I’d rather drink it than a beer while sitting out by the pool. It’s more refreshing.
