Still drunk, and treating half a kilogram as a perfectly reasonable unit for ordering pub food. metric prefixed adj. Too drunk to name a quantity without attaching a multiplier, usually of suspicious magnitude. metric shitloaded adj. Sufficiently drunk to regard any large amount as a precise and entirely defensible unit. Darresha became metric shitloaded and ordered a very large number of pickled eggs. metric spaced adj. Having drunk enough to assign a definite distance between yourself and everyone else in the snug. Dover was metric spaced, maintaining measured gaps between himself, the bar and the coat stand. metric structured adj.

Herney grew metric structured and conducted the room's spoons through a brisk drinking song. metric systemed (/ˈmɛtɹɪk ˌsɪstəmd/) adj. You have drunk enough to reorganise the entire pub around French units and insist the arrangement is universal.

Drunk to the point where every distance between people requires a symmetric calculation, and the answer is still the wrong round. metric timed adj. Drunk enough to divide the evening into formally precise intervals, none of which includes getting home. Bural was metric timed, announcing each quarter-hour while missing the last bus.
