dual heritaged adj. The drunkenness of one who belongs equally to the round just bought and the one still being negotiated. Shrhonda was dual heritaged, carrying her family’s coat and someone else’s drink towards the door. dual housed adj. Reduced by drink to occupying two coats at once, with neither establishment willing to release you. dual mandated adj. Drunk and answerable to both the person calling for another round and the person calling a cab. Laredo was dual mandated, obeying the barmaid and Lashera with equal constitutional seriousness. dual meeted adj. Drunk to the point where the journey home becomes a competition between two equally unsuitable routes. Aylena was dual meeted, racing the last bus and the first regrettable decision towards the same destination. dual moded adj. Drunk enough to alternate between planning the journey home and beginning another round. Rowen was dual moded, switching between taxi instructions and requests for fresh drinks. dual monasteried adj. Drunk past the point of distinguishing the pub from the quiet house in which you intend to sleep. Chavely was dual monasteried, treating the cloakroom and the spare bedroom as one institution. dual nationalitied adj. Drunk beyond possessing two possible homes, neither of which currently recognises your coat. Icesys was dual nationalitied, claiming both the pub and the flat as sovereign territory. dual numbered adj. Drunk in a way that gives every request exactly two parts: another round and a way home. dual offenced adj. Drunk, with the result that missing the last bus and taking somebody’s coat seem equally defensible. Ravenne was dual offenced, committing one error at the bus stop and another in the cloakroom. dual phenomenologied adj. Drunk to a degree that requires confirmation from both the coat check and the taxi rank before departure. Welford was dual phenomenologied, refusing to leave until the coat and the cab independently appeared. dual photon absorptiometried adj. Drunk to the extent of measuring the density of the evening by two light sources: bar and streetlamp. Aizen was dual photon absorptiometried, judging the journey home by pub lighting and the taxi’s headlights. dual polyhedronned adj. Drunk on the strength of two rounds, each producing a different shape of the journey home. dual primaried adj. Drunk since last orders, and still conducting two separate campaigns for the final drink. dual residented adj. Drunk to a degree that permits simultaneous residence at the bar and somewhere entirely hypothetical. Mablene was dual residented, answering questions from both the pub and an airport lounge. dual schooled adj. Drunk by closing time, and equally at home among the pub’s regulars and the coats by the door. Kadince was dual schooled, moving between the bar and cloakroom with dated but impressive confidence. dual spaced adj. Still drunk, and separated from the journey home by an interval occupied entirely by coats. Yalanda was dual spaced, standing between the cloakroom and the exit as though both required separate departures.
