buzzed

Had a few drinks

Buzzed describes a state of mild intoxication from alcohol or drugs—not drunk, but noticeably affected: I'm just a little buzzed.

The word captures the pleasant, energized feeling of early intoxication, from the humming sensation it produces.

Buzzed also describes hair cut very short with electric clippers: a buzzed head.

A phone that buzzed has vibrated.
