h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Ginger
Drinking as I do in a particularly multicultural environment, I did some research in the pub last night, and have come up with a number of additions, and also some possible amendments to your existing entries.

New UK Words
langered, blasted, w**kered, mullered, serfectly pober, nissed as a pewt, pissed as a newt, drunk as a skunk, pissed as a fart.
In addition, the entry you have 'under the alcafluence of incahol' is, I believe, mistyped... everybody I polled had only ever heard 'under the affluence of incahol', which also appears to be more syntactically correct. Oh, and 'paralytic' has a typo in it

Italian Words
Ubriaco
Tanto ubriaco che non stai in piedi (so drunk that you cannot stand on your feet. )

French Words
A drunk: un ivrogne, un soûlard, un buveur, une écluse (literally 'a lock', as in canal)
To drink: boire (boring!), écluser, se soûler, prendre une cuite, se pinter, se griser
The state of being drunk: bourré, buerré (comme un petit lu), ivre mort, rond (comme une queue de pelle), gris (Dutch and Germans go blue, the French become grey), soûl, aviné, éméché, pompette
A binge: une soûlerie, une beuverie
To go on a binge: faire la bringue, bambocher, faire bamboche, faire bombance

New Australian Words
sucked a few.
In addition, a straw poll of the nearest handful of Aussies revealed that they all say 'ripped to the tits' rather than 'ripped off my tits'. And 'driving the porcelain bus' actually means to throw up (albeit typically after a binge)... does this really count as a word meaning 'drunk'? Which suggests another interesting Guide Entry, of words meaning 'to be sick'...

Greek Words
methysmènos, pita, souromènos, bekris, bekroùliakas, tifla, piomènos

Dutch Words
zat, dronken, bezopen, te veel gehad, blauw, lam, lazerus, toeter, te diep in het glaasje gekeken, ladderzat (there's an interesting story to this one, too long for this forum), blauw als een tientje (blue as a ten-guilder note. Which is in fact blue), dronkemans, dronkaard, zuiplap, stomdronken, in kennelijke staat, dronken als een kachel

South African English Words
blasted, trashed, molo, mothered, motherless

Afrikaans Words
gesuip, dronk, sat

Russian Words
pod stolom (under the table)

New Irish Words
neutered, arseholed, f****d, legless, tanked up.
In addition, my Irish source tells me that in Ireland, the term 's**tfaced' is never applied to alcohol abuse, only to drugs. And I'd make the same comment about 'worshipping at the great white porcelain altar...' as 'driving the porcelain bus' .

Punjabi Words
sharaby

Hindi Words
