tipsy
A bit wobbly
Tipsy describes being slightly drunk—enough to feel the effects of alcohol but not severely impaired.
The word suggests a pleasant, mildly unsteady state: She was tipsy after two glasses of wine.
Tipsy carries a lighter connotation than drunk, often implying cheerful looseness rather than serious intoxication.
