blitzed
Drunk beyond reason
Blitzed is the past tense of blitz, meaning to attack intensely or overwhelm with force, but it's far more common as slang for being extremely intoxicated from alcohol or drugs.
We got completely blitzed at the party last night.
In American football, a quarterback who gets blitzed is rushed aggressively by defenders.
The word derives from blitzkrieg, the German military strategy of swift, overwhelming attack.
