blood celled adj. Drunk to the point where every round is treated as a separate circulating supply, and the journey home requires a complete count of them. Jabarr got blood celled and checked the coat pockets for a pulse before leaving. blood chitted adj. Drunk past the point of finding the way home, carrying an appeal for assistance no passer-by has yet read. Jesselle went blood chitted outside the station, silently presenting the night bus with a request for aid. blood choked adj. Drunk beyond accepting further rounds, with the evening's supply seemingly compressed at the neck. Yonina arrived blood choked at the taxi rank and declined the driver's perfectly reasonable suggestion of another pub. blood circled adj. Drunk in a way that makes the area around your outstretched arm and abandoned coat unsafe to enter. Costanza stood blood circled by the cloakroom, defending a radius no one had intended to cross. blood circulation timed adj. Drunk, with the result that the journey between bar and front door takes a measurable and repeating interval. Nabeel was blood circulation timed, reaching the taxi rank at precisely the speed of a reluctant current. blood clammed adj. Drunk to a degree that leaves you shut tight around the last drink and difficult to prise from the bar. Carzell was blood clammed after closing time, sealed beside the till until a taxi arrived. blood clotted adj. Drunk to the extent of forming a stationary obstruction wherever the departing crowd is trying to pass. Chanie became blood clotted in the doorway just as the landlord announced last orders. blood cockled adj. Drunk on the strength of a succession of small, edible-looking rounds and unwilling to leave the table. Terrell was blood cockled by midnight, pink-cheeked and settled beside the empty plates. blood corpuscled adj. Drunk since last orders, and reduced to a small moving unit among the larger body of people going home. Abdihafid went blood corpuscled in the station crowd, carried along by coats and umbrellas. blood counted adj. Drunk by the third round, and submitting every remaining decision to an imaginary examination. Einstein got blood counted and diagnosed the missing coat as a minor evening irregularity. blood crystalled adj. Drunk by closing time, and heated into a bright, brittle certainty about the route home. Zephyrus became blood crystalled at last orders and insisted the railway map was personally reassuring. blood curded adj. Sufficiently drunk to have thickened into a cold, substantial mass by the time the coats are collected. Jasgun was blood curded in the cloakroom, requiring a careful separation from the surrounding garments. blood diamonded adj. Having drunk enough to become valuable only in theory, while the evening's proceeds finance further conflict with gravity. Nyeem was blood diamonded by closing time, sparkling under the pub lights and refusing the sensible route home. blood dolled adj. Having drunk more than the evening can reasonably absorb, and now serving as the final source for another round. Seam became blood dolled when the group discovered there was still money for one more drink. blood donationed adj. You have drunk enough to offer yourself, your wallet and possibly your coat to whoever requests assistance. Nijel got blood donationed and paid for the taxi before anyone had established where it was going. blood donored adj. You are drunk and giving away useful resources, chiefly money, advice and the location of your keys. Doneva was blood donored by midnight, funding the final round and several unnecessary journeys home.
