drunk as a lord
Thoroughly soaked inside
Drunk as a lord means extremely intoxicated.
The phrase dates from times when aristocrats could afford to drink heavily and often did, while common people had less access to alcohol.
Now used without class implications: He stumbled home drunk as a lord after the office party.
