roaring drunk
Boisterously, completely wasted
Roaring drunk describes extreme intoxication—so drunk that one becomes loud, boisterous, or uncontrollable.
The roaring suggests noise and abandon, someone past the point of quiet tipsiness into full theatrical inebriation: He came home roaring drunk at three in the morning.
The phrase is old-fashioned but still understood.
