tipsiest

Maximally under influence

Tipsiest is the superlative form of tipsy, describing someone who is the most slightly drunk among a group or in a given situation.

Being tipsy suggests a pleasant, mild intoxication rather than full drunkenness—enough alcohol to feel relaxed and perhaps a bit unsteady, but still functional.

After three glasses of champagne, she was the tipsiest person at the table.
