"rat-holed"As opposed to "arse-arsed" (the total opposite of half-arsed presumably  ) ?

a wwftd subscriber from Oz sent me maggered, adding Came across this word, which to my knowledge is only used in a small location in my part of the world - a place known as Kerang.
This small town, pop. 2,500 is located approximately 200km north west of Melbourne, the capital city of the state of Victoria, Australia.
Maggered: (noun) to be intoxicated, usually by alcohol, but still able to comprehend your surroundings to the point just below being a nuisance to others.
Example of usage: "Look at Bill will you, he is absolutely maggered."
As far as I can tell on my visits to tiny Kerang, the word is not used as slang and appears only used in the district around Kerang.
can anyone confirm?

a place known as KerangSorry, I can't get past this without giggling inanely  Makes me think of a town populated solely by Heavy Metal bands. Here's why (if you didn't know): http://www.kerrang.comYes, I imagine you could spend a lot of time Maggered in Kerang. Hmmm, that's a pretty good song title.. [picks up air guitar]  [head banging-e]

Being lazy (& tired!) I haven't checked back through this thread - but I do recall mentioning "maggoted" once as an Ozism for drunk.
It's suspiciously close to "maggered" for me to wonder which came first. I'll go for maggoted because it is in national use.
As for expressions for expelling the excess intake, my current personal fave is "going the gargle".
