Ben Franklin’s 200+ Synonyms for “Drunk”

Post reblogged from mental_floss on tumblr

mentalflossr:

Today we’re celebrating Ben Franklin’s 306th birthday. If you’re celebrating at home, perhaps one of these phrases from The Drinkers Dictionary will come in handy. The lengthy list of expressions meaning “inebriated” was first published by Franklin in the Pennsylvania Gazette on January 6, 1737.

This is a good list, but is missing (among others): overserved, sauce piquante (used most commonly by the Roy brothers), torn up, shitfaced, fuckered up.

What else?
