And creeping crepuscular crapulence could mean slowly getting drunk at twilight.I remember that line, Dr. Bill! One of your classics!

"drunk" expressionsHey! I've found a couple that aren't yet included: wrecked and ratted (as opposed to rat-arsed, which is included already) I'm so pleased with myself.  Also worth noting the famous (mainly Northern English) excuse for throwing up after drinking too much: "Must have had a bad pint"  Any local variants worldwide?

Ben Franklin made a list of 228 synonyms for the word drunk, two of them were cherubimical and nimplopsical.
Now if only they had AWAD in his day......

Another excuse for being hung over:
Must be bad water in those ice cubes.

"Must have had a bad pint"
or this, for frequent trips to the loo (for other purposes!):
"I don't buy beer, I only rent it."
Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.

"Must have had a bad pint"
_________________________________
I'd always heard that it was the curry or the kebab that was to blame - couldn't ever be the beer - that would be sacrilege!

But these are such traditional accompaniments (in the UK anyway) that you are obliged to think them a good idea and never to bad-mouth them. When was the last time you heard: "No, I'll skip the curry/kebab, thanks, or I'll be sick" ? It's about as unlikely as: "No drink for me, thanks, or I'll be sick" - although the latter is at least possible in principle.

Ah no, curry and/or kebabs would never be thought a bad idea at the time - quite the opposite - afterall they are the traditional end to a night out, but better to blame them the next morning than the beer!

This reminds me of one of Mrs Rhuby's classics. She had heard both the expression, "rat-arsed" and also, "arse-holed" as signifying inebriation. So her version was to accuse someone (not me, of course!) of being "rat-holed."
