Phrases for Drunkeness

ArtyM · 06-11-2012 06:08PM #1

Just read a Thread here in after hours where a z list celeb used the phrase 'getting Mortal' to describe getting drunk (she actually said it was one of the things she was best at, God Bless her).
Thats a new one on me.
Seems like pretty much any word or phrase can be used now to describe being a few sheets to the wind.
Whats the weirdest you ever heard?

I always liked the term 'Three Sheets To The Wind'.

Its nautical in origin I think, something about a ships sails coming loose causing it to lose stability.

Thats a sad one...comes from a tribe of Africans in the Congo who Irish Peacekeepers fought back in the 60s

A load young Irish lads came back & hit the bottle to get over their PTSD and would end up screaming about Baloobas...the phrase just caught on over time.

Close. It is nautical. The 3 sheets to the wind mean all sails are taking the wind causing the vessel to list dramatically.....much like a lad who is locked
