half-cut
Somewhat inebriated state
Half-cut means moderately drunk—not falling-down intoxicated, but noticeably impaired.
The term is chiefly British: He was half-cut by the time dinner was served.
The image suggests someone cut partway through their drinking, or perhaps half as functional as usual.
