Or in the case of a tequila aficionado..."ate the worm." Jose Cuervo was an old friend of mine.......I really ate the worm more times than I can remember, I'm afraid. Ah! Such were the vagaries of youth!

Stunning sleuthing, tsuwm! Your site posted above provides quite the garderobe for John Barleycorn.
Now, I propose a challenge to coin a word for wearing a lampshade on one's head...a single word that captures that madhattery.

In the spirit of things, I just thought of bamboozled and tight. I realize I could have just gone to the Drunctionary, but these terms came to me serendipitously.
Heh! How 'bout serendipitossed?
Spirited must be one, too...
and I like spiralled, come to think of it, or gyred, or helixed. I wonder whether those are ones, too?
I think bloviated should be one...
And obfuscated...
How 'bout astygmatized?
And certainly tsuwmed should be one...
Just trying to think out of the box, tsuwm. Heh! I'll bet boxed is one, too--or should be one!
Best regards,
WordWoozie

"Her indoors" has just reminded me of her own conflation of two cockney hi, duncan, and welcome! terms for liquidious befuddlement which takes "arseholed" and "rat-arsed" to produce "rat-holed"

re:Gambrinus as a mythical Flemish king, to whom the invention of beer is attributed.
any one who has spent any time drinking will know a few irish drinking songs-- including the classic "God bless Charly Moss, the man who invented beer!" but no matter who invented it, Beer is prove that God loves the common man, and it was for many years, it was England's salvation... for with out beer, the irish would have ruled the world.
now, it you haven't yet taken the pledge, i hope i won't find you in your cups, feeling no pain, tootled or plastered.

Rendered, shikkered, steamboats,bladdered,caned, these are all Northern English
Nope: "shikker" is the yiddish term, I believe, taken verbatim.
