drunk
Three sheets windward
Drunk describes the state of impairment from alcohol—coordination falters, speech slurs, judgment wavers.
The word works as adjective (He was too drunk to drive) and noun (The drunk stumbled home).
A drunk is also someone who habitually drinks to excess.
Drunk doubles as the past participle of drink: I've drunk three cups of coffee.
To be drunk on something besides alcohol is to be intoxicated by it: drunk on power, drunk with success.
