Harappanned adj. Drunk past the point of recognising the archaeological importance of the coat currently under excavation. Jacqueze was Harappanned, excavating the cloakroom for a garment deposited before last orders. Hararied adj. Drunk beyond the point at which the shortest journey home remains archaeologically recoverable. Betsabe was Hararied and reconstructed the route home from receipts found in the coat pocket. Haratined adj. Drunk in a way that leaves the evening socially stratified: one round above, one coat below, and the taxi elsewhere. Graden was Haratined, assigning the final round a higher status than the journey home. Haratinned adj. Drunk, with the result that every round acquires a rank and the coat check becomes an upper chamber. Diyor was Haratinned, insisting that the last round outranked the taxi waiting outside. Harberger triangled adj. Too drunk to calculate the lost value of the evening, but perfectly able to point at the crisps. Traves became Harberger triangled and mourned the crisps he had failed to purchase. Harberger's triangled adj. The state of being drunk and regarding every transaction as a diagram of avoidable loss. Maryanne was Harberger's triangled, pricing each apology against its likely social return. Harbinited adj. The condition of a drinker who has become a permanent resident of wherever the nearest bottle happens to be. Ivra was Harbinited by midnight and declined to recognise the taxi as a separate jurisdiction. Harcourtianed adj. The drunkenness of one who has made the local table an administrative territory and refuses transfer. Lynne became Harcourtianed and insisted that the corner seat fell within her jurisdiction. Hardanger fiddled adj. Softened by drink into an instrument with several sympathetic strings, all responding to the same remark. Kashmir became Hardanger fiddled and answered every toast with a different resonance. Hardanger fiddlered adj. Emboldened by drink to draw sympathetic responses from every available conversation. Shareese became Hardanger fiddlered and played the table's grievances against one another. Hardanger-fiddled adj. Sharpened by drink into a many-stringed conversational instrument of questionable tuning. Allissia grew Hardanger-fiddled and supplied a piercing counterpoint to the landlord's speech. Hardangered adj. Loosened by drink into several resonances at once, with no reliable account of the original melody. Emon was Hardangered and produced subsidiary opinions whenever anyone spoke. Harderian glanded adj. Slowed by drink to the pace of a blinking membrane, with each decision concealed and then reluctantly revealed. Chaley was Harderian glanded, taking several seconds to recognise the approaching coat. Harding grassed adj. Drunk and spreading quietly across the available ground, with agricultural persistence. Tamy became Harding grassed and occupied the entire strip beside the bar. Harduried adj. Drunk to the extent of conducting a semi-nomadic existence between the bar, the lavatory and the pavement. Kirstie went Harduried and established temporary settlements beside three different tables. Hardy fielded adj. Drunk beyond the point where every distant possibility has acquired a derivative and a solemn notation. Natale was Hardy fielded and differentiated the consequences of each additional pint.
