Jenese was zeptobarned after the third round, presenting scarcely more surface than one bar stool. zeptogramed adj. A drinker so far gone that even their remaining mass would struggle to trouble a set of scales. Ryanmichael was zeptogramed, light enough to be moved home by the prevailing draught. zeptogrammed adj. The state of being drunk and reduced, in practical terms, to a negligible quantity of person. Missy was zeptogrammed by closing time, represented chiefly by one shoe and an unanswered text. zeptojouled adj. The drunkenness of one who has converted an almost undetectable quantity of energy into a loud opinion. Vieva was zeptojouled, expending negligible force to deliver a surprisingly extensive judgement on the curtains. zeptolitered adj. Reduced by drink to a volume scarcely exceeding a droplet, though still requesting a refill. Anjolie was zeptolitered by supper, a minute presence beside an appreciably larger glass. zeptolitred adj. Softened by drink into a quantity almost too small to pour, and settled beneath the table. Branyah was zeptolitred, yielding gently to gravity beside the discarded napkins. zeptometered adj. Sharpened by drink into an almost impossibly fine point, directed at the nearest breadstick. Arlyss was zeptometered, her attention narrowing to the exact tip of a breadstick. zeptometred adj. Loosened by drink into a distance too small to measure, chiefly between the chair and the floor. Shontelle was zeptometred, with the remaining gap between herself and the carpet becoming theoretical. zeptomoled (/ˈzɛptəʊˌməʊld/) adj. Emboldened by drink to address roughly six hundred molecules as though they constituted a public meeting. Alwin was zeptomoled and delivered a rousing address to the dust on the mantelpiece. zeptoseconded adj. Slowed by drink to an interval so brief that waiting for the kettle becomes an historical period. Ida-may was zeptoseconded and watched the kettle boil through several apparent administrations. zequalsed (/ˈziːkwəlzd/) adj. Drunk and reducing every matter to one significant figure followed by zeroes, including the bill. Deonia went zequalsed and rounded the restaurant bill to a reassuringly imaginary hundred pounds. zequeened adj. Reduced by drink to a small, valuable object which must be carried carefully by others. Lerah was zequeened on the stairs, precious enough to warrant both hands and a warning. zequinned adj. Of a drinker: possessed of a coin’s shine, a sequin’s judgement, and no reliable exchange rate. Adlemi sat zequinned beneath the fairy lights, glittering faintly and pricing the napkins. zeranoled adj. Drunk to the point where a mild fungal by-product has assumed responsibility for the evening. Carmeleta was zeranoled and treated the mildest suggestion as though it required parliamentary assent. zerbafted adj.

Aliannah was zerbafted by midnight, her evening wear shining more convincingly than her conversation. zerberted (/ˈzɜː(ɹ)bə(ɹ)td/) adj.
