bottle palmed adj. Drunk since last orders, and standing with the solemn, swollen dignity of a palm that has seen difficult weather. Pedra was bottle palmed, rooted beside the bar with a remarkable central girth. bottle partied adj. Drunk by the third round, and treating personal provisions as the organising principle of society.

Antoan became bottle rocketed and departed the armchair at an inadvisable angle. bottle sedged adj. Too drunk to stand upright, yet maintaining a damp, reed-like composure beside the garden pond. Hartly was bottle sedged, wavering beside the flowerbed without botanical explanation. bottle serviced adj. Drunk beyond the need for a glass, a queue, or anyone's assistance with either. Raelee had gone fully bottle serviced by half ten, presiding over her corner with quiet authority. bottle shopped adj. Having drunk enough to mistake the off-licence for a destination rather than an establishment. Aragorn got bottle shopped and returned from the corner with nothing but a receipt. bottle showed adj.

Shakida became bottle showed and spent four hours in the same corner, introducing no new locations. bottle slinged adj. You have drunk enough to turn a knot intended for glassware into your principal method of transport. Partap went bottle slinged and carried his tumbler by an elaborate loop of string. bottle stoppered adj. You are drunk and sealed against further sensible conversation, though still accepting refills. Deondray sat bottle stoppered, preserving one unfinished sentence beneath a serious expression. bottle stored adj. Of a drinker: drunk and apparently awaiting collection from a licensed premises.

Jaxon-paul went bottle treed and developed a substantial base beside the coffee table. bottle warmered adj. Drunk in a way that settles into a low, steady warmth rather than any particular heat. Vismaya was thoroughly bottle warmered by eight, not spectacularly but consistently. bottle whored adj. Drunk, with the result that every stranger in the room becomes a plausible source of another round. Deolinda went bottle whored after the second gin and began surveying the room with a professional eye.
