16 Old-Timey Slang Terms to Describe Being Drunk

mentalflossr:

As I continue flipping through my copy of the Dictionary of American Slang (1967), it seems like every page has a new term for “drunk.” We’ve discussed “on a toot” (a drunken spree) and “the zings” (a hangover), but here are some new old words to try out on your boozy friends.

1. Pigeon-eyed

2. Full as a tick
*
3. Squiffed
*
4. Striped
*
5. Seeing snakes
