snootful
Too much booze
A snootful is enough alcohol to make someone drunk: He had a snootful before the wedding reception even started.
The snoot is the nose or face, so a snootful suggests drinking until it reaches your nostrils.
The word is informal and somewhat old-fashioned, often used with "have" or "get."
