DrunkSo. You’re contemplating writing a story in which Arthur and Merlin get rat-arsed. Paralytic. Obliterated. Annihilated. Off their heads. But you’re not quite sure how to describe their state of inebriation. Have no fear, the Brits are here-to offer you advice on the subtle distinctions along the scale from being merely tipsy, through

My hubby calls getting pissed 'mullered' which I always thought was getting your arse completely kicked by another footy team or something. Apparently it can be either. Who knew?

Don't forget the kebab option if a curry is too much like hard work. Not that a veggie like me has the kebab - just the chips please with loads of salt and vinegar ketchup to be consumed on the swings on the rec on the way home :-D

Love this post, even if I am Brit anyway!

Ah, yes, I forgot "mullered" - that's up there with "plastered" and "epically pissed" on the intoxication scale isn't it! I also associate it with 1980's haircuts; that'll be because it sounds like "mullet".

Ah, the late night doner kebab. You're right, chips and ketchup is a safer bet.

But the advantage of a sit-down curry is that you can carry on drinking.

This was hilarious and very useful, too. Love how you told us all about the different stages while giving us information. Well done, you.

You're welcome. I'm embarrassingly well-informed on this topic! Sign of a mis-spent youth. And middle age.

You're welcome - happy to share the unsavoury dregs that lurk in the bottom of the pint-glass of British culture, any time :-)

Thanks bb - my aim is to please, if I amuse as well, then that makes my day :-)
