soused
Three sheets windward
Soused means thoroughly drunk: He came home soused at 2 a.m.
The word comes from sousing—steeping something in liquid, especially pickling in brine or vinegar.
Soused herring is pickled herring.
The drunk sense follows naturally: someone soused has been steeped in alcohol.
