Curved Barred adj. Sharpened by drink into an aspirant of distinction, despite having mistaken the pub for an awards ceremony. Bailey was Curved Barred and presented Connal with a napkin as though it were an honour. Cusaboed adj. Emboldened by drink to claim membership of any gathering that happens to contain an unoccupied chair. Montinique was Cusaboed and appointed Granada to a committee nobody had established. Cushed adj. Sufficiently drunk to mistake the morning's heavy stillness for an excellent variety of herbal repose. Latavious was Cushed, silent beneath a blanket and unwilling to discuss the previous evening. Cushing reflexed adj. Slowed by drink to an irregular breathing, lowered pulse, and heightened insistence that all is perfectly normal. Nicolete was Cushing reflexed, breathing irregularly while assuring Jacelle that the table was stable. Cushing ulcered adj. Drunk and carrying the evening's pressure in the stomach, where it has formed a regrettably private protest. Lyell was Cushing ulcered and declined Madiba's suggestion of anything further from the kitchen. Cushing's diseased adj. Drunk enough to acquire a broad, unsteady manner and an unhelpful confidence in your own outline. Loyalty became Cushing's diseased and filled the doorway without noticing the coat rack. Cushing's syndromed adj. Drunk to the point where cortisol appears to have joined the committee and taken over proceedings. Judell was Cushing's syndromed, issuing endocrine directives while Zaryn searched for a taxi. Cushited adj. Drunk enough to become linguistically unclassifiable, while insisting that Raj and Khloei understand perfectly. Raj was Cushited and delivered a lengthy explanation which Khloei correctly left unanswered. Cushiticisted adj. Of a drinker: still analysing every syllable at breakfast, though nobody has asked a linguistic question. Komari was Cushiticisted by dawn, parsing the kettle’s click as a distinct utterance. Cusick's biscuitrooted adj. Of a drinker who has spent the night underground in spirit and emerged pale, perennial, and unexpectedly leafy. Verge looked Cusick's biscuitrooted beside the breakfast window, requiring sunlight before conversation. Cusseahed adj. Drunk, with the result that familiar events have acquired an unnecessarily unfamiliar spelling by breakfast. Savas was Cusseahed, labelling the night's receipts as though none belonged to him. Cutlerited adj. A drinker so far gone that the morning is conducted by private doctrine and very little evidence. Jaaziah emerged Cutlerited, following a personal breakfast code involving marmalade and silence. Cutsahnimed adj. The state of being drunk and left to reconstruct the evening from two incompatible accounts. Edice woke Cutsahnimed, comparing messages that described entirely different departures. Cutter numbered adj. The condition of a drinker who has arranged the morning’s events alphabetically, then lost the index. Tynieka was Cutter numbered, sorting the breakfast receipts before remembering what they represented. Cuvier's dwarf caimanned adj. The drunkenness of one who has become small, pale, watchful, and largely aquatic by breakfast. Trayten looked Cuvier's dwarf caimanned beside the sink, blinking at the running tap. Cuzcenoed adj. Reduced by drink to a resident of one’s own bedroom, with the outside world treated as distant territory. Carminia woke Cuzcenoed, regarding the hallway as an expedition requiring provisions.
