xerophobiaed adj. Drunk to a degree that makes dryness intolerable, including the dry remarks of sober companions. Lilan grew xerophobiaed and demanded gravy for the table's least promising conversation. xerophthalmiaed adj. Drunk to the extent of mistaking ordinary visual difficulty for a deficiency requiring clinical classification. Keshanti became xerophthalmiaed and blamed the dim bar for failing to display the crisps clearly. xerophthalmied adj. Drunk to a degree that leaves the eyes dry, the room dim, and the night strangely difficult to navigate. Alpheus got xerophthalmied and blinked at the bar sign as though it were a distant lighthouse. xerophthalmosed adj. Drunk since last orders, and viewing every failure to focus as an established ophthalmic condition. Eldi was xerophthalmosed and blamed the bar's dry air for missing the coat stand. xerophthalmused adj. Drunk by the third round, and clinically certain that the room's increasing indistinctness is ocular. Samiaya was xerophthalmused and requested brighter lighting for the already illuminated sign. xerophyted (/ˈzɪəɹəʊfaɪtd/) adj. Still drunk, and adapted to the dry habitat beneath the pub's radiator with minimal conversational growth. Temeshia remained xerophyted beside the radiator, requiring little water and no further stimulation. xerophyticked adj. Too drunk to distinguish a drought-adapted plant from a particularly determined customer in the corner. Vanny became xerophyticked and asked whether the cactus wanted another round. xerophytismed adj. Sufficiently drunk to adapt to the pub's dry conditions by reducing movement, speech and water consumption. Lawrance grew xerophytismed and settled beneath the heater like a specimen awaiting classification. xerophytizationed adj. Having drunk enough to undergo gradual conversion into something that tolerates drought and discourages handling. Lavonya became xerophytizationed, developing a defensive silence beside the empty water jug. xeroprinted adj. Having drunk more than the evening can reproduce accurately, leaving only a dry, monochrome impression. Gwili appeared xeroprinted on the receipt, a faint black-and-white record of prior judgement. xeroprotectanted adj. You have drunk enough to serve as a preservative against dryness, though not against administrative concern. Carmel became xeroprotectanted and guarded the last damp slice of lemon with professional seriousness. xeroprotectioned adj. You are drunk and protecting yourself from dryness by strategic proximity to sauces, puddles and other unsuitable liquids. Luthien was xeroprotectioned, maintaining a defensive perimeter of gravy around the plate. xeropsammented adj. Of a drinker: granular, drought-adapted and liable to spread quietly across the driest available surface. Eriona sat xeropsammented beneath the lamp, settling into the booth like a poorly managed deposit. xeropthalmiaed adj. Drunk past the point of noticing that your eyes have become the driest things in the room by breakfast. Kaysean woke xeropthalmiaed, blinking at the kettle as though it had personally caused the discomfort. xeroradiogramed adj. Drunk beyond producing a clear account of the evening, though the morning-after evidence remains remarkably visible. Deicy arrived xeroradiogramed, with every detail of the previous night showing through the excuses. xeroradiographed adj. Drunk in a way that leaves the evening sharply outlined beneath a thin, unconvincing surface. Trejuan came downstairs xeroradiographed, his breakfast revealing more than his explanation.
