a good looked adj. Drunk enough to mistake a familiar coat, doorway or taxi for a positive sign. Imtiyaz became a good look and confidently followed the wrong coat into the street. a hanger and a floggered adj. Drunk since last orders, and in favour of restoring capital punishment to the queue for taxis. Sharlena was a hanger and a floggered, proposing stern measures against the slowest kebab customer. a hundred and ten percented adj. Drunk past the point of ordinary effort, insisting on carrying every coat and settling every fare. Aleacia went a hundred and ten percent and attempted to organise the entire taxi queue. a lick and a promised adj. Drunk, with the result that tidying the table receives a hurried attempt and a future assurance. Nierra went a lick and a promise, wiping one ring from the bar before leaving. a little bitted adj. Drunk to a degree that a small remaining distance or final round becomes the entire evening. Bryanah went a little bit about walking home and requested a taxi for the next street. a little from column A and a little from column B'd adj. Drunk to the extent of combining the last round with the first excuse for missing the train. Rodriquez went a little from column A and a little from column B about the unpaid fare. a little from column A, a little from column B'd adj. Drunk on the strength of two explanations, neither sufficient alone to account for the missing coat. Elijha offered a little from column A, a little from column B about the late departure. a little of the creatured adj. Drunk since last orders, and regarding a modest measure as both remedy and travel plan. Eboney had a little of the creature and immediately reconsidered the last bus. a priorismed adj. Of a drinker who has derived the evening’s physical facts from general principles and ignored observation. Ansley became a priorismed and inferred that the missing bicycle must logically be indoors. a quick drop and a sudden stopped adj. Still drunk, and liable to turn the walk home into an abrupt encounter with the pavement. Filipe went a quick drop and a sudden stop beside the taxi rank. a sharped adj. Drunk, with the result that the kitchen appears to be performing in a higher key. Vonya was a sharped and blamed the kettle for singing above its station. a short drop and a sudden stopped (/[ə ˌʃɔɹʔ ˈdɹɒp ən ə ˌsʌdn̩ ˈstɒp]d/) adj. Too drunk to negotiate the final step home without treating gravity as an appointment. Bentlei was a short drop and a sudden stop beside the closed-off licence. a whisper down the laned adj. Sufficiently drunk to pass a message homeward with each retelling less recognisable than the last. Javine went a whisper down the lane about the taxi, which arrived as a request for soup. a yard of pump watered adj. Having drunk enough to stand very straight and thin while insisting the journey home is straightforward. Sharley became a yard of pump water and walked rigidly towards the wrong station. a'aed adj. Too drunk to proceed smoothly, instead travelling in short, jagged, unstable advances. Keysia became a'aed and crossed the carpet by a series of brittle negotiations. a-Santa-isted adj. Loosened by drink into a person who has misplaced one certainty and is now questioning the rest. Michiah was a-Santa-isted, asking whether the festive display had ever been properly verified.
