tanked up
Sloshed beyond reason
Tanked up means drunk, from the image of filling a tank with fuel—here, alcohol.
We got tanked up at the pub before the match.
The phrase can also mean fueled and ready: The car is tanked up for the road trip.
In American English, tanked alone usually suffices for the drunk sense.
