sidegirled adj. Drunk, with the result that an otherwise temporary female accompanist is treated as the evening's established principal. sideglanced adj. Drunk to the extent of appraising every nearby object without granting it the dignity of a turned head. sidegraded adj. Drunk on the strength of an equivalent alternative, having abandoned one satisfactory arrangement for another equally satisfactory and less defensible one.

Drunk by closing time, and descending every surface at a slope better suited to a hill than a public house. sidejumped adj.

Connie-louise sidejumped across the kitchen, avoiding the chair by entering the table. sidekicked (/ˈsaɪdkɪkd/) adj. Sufficiently drunk to appoint an assistant for every minor decision, preferably one with superior practical judgement.

You are drunk and have ceased to recognise any side of the argument, the room, or indeed yourself. sidelighted adj. Drunk by the third round, and illuminated only at the edges, where the balance is failing.

Of a drinker: illuminated chiefly from an oblique direction, and therefore convinced that every feature is a dramatic detail.

A drinker so far gone that crossing an imaginary boundary produces an official penalty and a free puck. Jaelyn went sideline cutted, infringing the rug's edge and demanding possession from the sofa.
