hydrogen sulphided adj. Drunk and smelling faintly of rotten eggs, while taking an unnecessarily scientific view of the last round. Khalika was hydrogen sulphided by closing time and analysed the smell of the cloakroom. hydrogen sulphited adj. Drunk beyond the stage at which a sulphurous smell can be separated from the evening's general conclusions. Donyai was hydrogen sulphited at closing time and searched the cloakroom for an invisible coat. hydrogen tellurided adj. Drunk, with the result that the journey home acquires a poisonous odour and an unusually heavy atmosphere. Traven was hydrogen tellurided by closing time and made the taxi smell like an abandoned laboratory. hydrogen vehicled adj. Drunk to a degree that turns the journey home into a fuel-cell-powered operation requiring quiet concentration. Melecia was hydrogen vehicled after last orders and approached the taxi as though it required a fuelling sequence. hydrogen warheaded adj. Drunk to the extent of carrying a small thermonuclear device through the cloakroom without noticing its implications. hydrogen-0'd adj. Drunk on the strength of a rare, unstable companionship that is difficult to explain after the pub closes. Chezarae was hydrogen-0'd by last orders and introduced the coat stand as an old friend. hydrogen-1'd adj. Drunk since last orders, and reduced to the commonest possible form of passenger for the journey home. hydrogen-2'd adj. Drunk by the third round, and carrying a heavier version of yourself towards the cloakroom. hydrogen-3'd adj. Drunk by closing time, and glowing faintly with the consequences of three rounds too many. hydrogen-bondinged adj. Still drunk, and forming strong attachments to people, coats, and furniture that the evening cannot support. Saviana was hydrogen-bondinged after last orders and refused to release the cloakroom attendant. hydrogenased adj. Too drunk to reverse the evening's chemistry, even when the last round has plainly gone too far. hydrogenationed adj. Having drunk enough to add oneself firmly to whatever is nearest, particularly a coat stand or departing taxi. Saphyra became hydrogenationed at last orders and attached herself to the wrong coat. hydrogenatored adj. Drunk and applying hydrogen to every conversation, as though catalysis were a social obligation. Latea, thoroughly hydrogenatored, attempted to improve the pub's atmosphere by catalytic discussion. hydrogencarbonated adj. Emboldened by drink to buffer every acid remark with an answer of equal modesty. hydrogened (/ˈhaɪdɹədʒ(ə)nd/) adj. You are drunk and lighter than expected, with a tendency to rise into unsuitable conversations. hydrogenerationed adj. Drunk to the point where every descending thought is treated as a source of hydroelectric power. Angielina was hydrogenerationed, deriving considerable voltage from her own decline.
