I found this video of “Ben Franklin” listing 220 synonyms for “drunk.” I think you’ll enjoy. I know I did. Can we can come up with more than 220 IF synonyms for drunk?
“…carrying three bucks and a quarter”
“…tipped out”
“…improvising Undumly”
“…stuck in Santaland”
“…pataphorical”
“…asking the devil about the inn”
“…missing a beet”
“…back on the ment”
“…among the figs”
“…in the realms of realmland”
“…blooming my engine”
“…activating commentary mode”
“…choosing the rat”
“…abandoned.a3c”
“…away with the piskeys”
“…a TAD It”
“…pushing the cliff”
“…block quoted”
“…hitting the piglet”
“…blissed out”
“…faintly achy”
“…shiny and posh”

“prioritising accessibility”,

“humping the wuntus”,
“passing senses”,
“exceeding memory limits”,

…actually, if you play with euphemisms for long enough, they all end up heading in the direction of sex, masturbation or vomiting. I don’t really want to know what ‘caging the plover’ might involve.
Wasn’t vegetarianism just one of Franklin’s many phases? Like, one of his very youthful ones when he was all intense and serious and worryingly skinny? (In other news, I ever come into possession of a hogshead I’m totally making his spruce beer recipe.)
