This weekend will be the first big night out since Dry January made part-time teetotallers of thousands of Brits.

It was cordial and coke all round for people across the UK for 31 days, but we’ve now moved into the socially sanctioned ‘Wet February’.

So now seems as good a time as any to look at all the different ways people have found to describe getting drunk – or should we say, ‘rat-arsed’, ‘mortal’, or ‘palintoshed’?

Just in case you want to impress your local bar staff with your dictionary-like knowledge of inebriation.

(Fun fact: crapulence also means intoxication, but we recommend using it with care due to the possibility of misinterpretation.)

Cheers!
