The drunkenness of one who has crossed the bedroom as an obstacle circuit, negotiating each discarded garment badly.

Drunk to a degree that gives the search for a taxi an unnecessarily combative quality. Sofiarose was assaultivenessed at closing time and challenged the first cab to recognise her. assay dished adj. Reduced by drink to a shallow marked receptacle in which the morning's symptoms can be observed in separate squares. Evamaria sat assay dished at breakfast, sorting nausea, regret and thirst into distinct compartments. assay plated adj. Drunk since last orders, and carrying several separate destinations as though each required its own little test.

Iriyana was assay pounded by last orders, measuring the taxi fare against half a gram of sense. assay tonned adj. Drunk by closing time, and carrying a standard quantity of evening into the street. Zinda left assay tonned, substantial enough to require both a taxi and an escort. assay-dished adj. Drunk on the strength of one small measure, then carefully arranging the remaining evening into little compartments. Valente became assay-dished after a modest round and sorted the coat tickets by colour. assayabilitied adj. Still drunk, and sufficiently measurable for the coat-room attendant to predict the journey home. Zealyn remained assayabilitied after closing, with each further round plainly detectable. assayed (/ˈæseɪd/) adj. Drunk to the extent of treating the journey home as a trial, attempt, and repeatable experiment. Shadavia left assayed and made three separate attempts at the same taxi door.
