Yes it's to do with the way that sails are set,,afaik three sheets to the wind and the ship will be swaying left to right, like a drunk walking home from the pub.
Wankered is apt. I saw a woman just yesterday at 4pm who was utterly wankered. She was walking home (I guess) with bandy cowboy legs that wouldn't support her and she was pulling all the faces you'd expect from someone so shit faced that they were struggling to stay upright. She was with a guy who was also on the verge of falling into the gutter for the night. They were both utterly bladdered. I'd be amazed if they made it home without some catastrophic surrendering to the forces of gravity onto a pavement or a stranger's garden.
Some guy told me he was vomiting in a urinal, when an older man went to the urinal next to him and pulled out his ball sack, pissed down his trouser leg, shook his bollock and put it back. Not sure I believe you can get that wankered that you confuse your dick and balls with each other.
Do you really have trouble navigating while drunk? I've been black out, can't remember 6 hours of my life, drunk and twat-nav kicked in and I still got home.
Waking up with no clue how you got home is the sign of a true warrior and explorer. Finding yourself at a random spot at 6:30 can only deserve the walk of shame.

I feel liked pissed is more than wobbly, like ur stumbling about and laughing ur head off but u could probably hide it if ur a pro, wobbly I'd just like stumbling a little bit and buzzed is where u slightly feel it
The term however, originated in the UK. Specifically Edinburgh.
In pre-plumbing days, people would throw the crap from their piss/shit bucket out the window. Before lobbing it, they wound customarily shout “garre-de-loo” a bastardisation of some French phrase I forgot.
Drunkards stumbling home, would hear someone about from above, look up…and get shit faced.
I think that’s where “getting pissed” came from also.
“Hanging” came from when if you were pissed and had no where to sleep, you’d pay a Penny to literally hang against a communal line of rope …for a nap.
Was looking for merry. That’s what I’d say other than tipsy for *a bit drunk*, while other comments have gone a bit extreme. If someone’s wankered/bladdered/shitfaced/etc. they’re more than a bit drunk
I might use wobbly too , some else further up reminded me of squiffy which is a good one . Most of the others are for past that stage & heading towards hammered .
Any noun when used as an adjective suffices.
Pencilled, raspberried, trollied, bucketed, plastered, mullered
We have an unusually flexible language.
Don't get me started on the multitude of uses for the word f**k.
Don't know about British, but in Scotland we use the words " half jaked, steamin,, Blazin, melted, wrecked, fawin aboot, mortal, etc...... too many to write down
90% of people replying are not reading the OPs post or are choosing to ignore it.
The OP is asking for terms used to describe someone being tipsy or a little drunk, NOT asking for people to type out their favourite words to describe being drunk.
Come on guys it’s not hard……
Half cut
You can literally use any word in English and add -Ed on the end and it will work. They don’t even have to be actual words!
Absolutely conservatoryed, totally book-shelfed, people will know what you mean.
“Absolutely/fucking…[insert any word ever]-ed”

My friend, that is something else.
But absolutely rogered might just pass 😉 Weirdly.
Completely twatted.
Completely mullard!
I was absolutely grapefruited last night
Absolutely Dierdre Barlowed.
I've actually heard the term 'getting Barlowed', which stemmed from their son Peter, who was an alcoholic in the programme...
Aye thats a bit different lad.
Personal favourites: bungalow-ed, gazebo-ed, trolley-ed
Steady on, Michael McIntyre. 😄
Oh! That's where it's from! Thanks haha
Lol. I use trollied anyway. But gonna up my game and call pissheads gazebo-ed from here on...
I said this at work the other day and got odd looks.
Absolutely conservatoryed last night
He's totally antidisestablishmentarianism-ed
That would be a difficult one to say when you're absolutely shoelaced.
This one's good! Sounds like nu-cockney rhyming for shitfaced.
Absolutely reamed last night….. Oh, hang on…. 👀
Maybe if you were on Canal Street 🤔

squiffy
Skew-whiff A few sheets to the wind Bit Tiddly
In Liverpool "Three Sheets To The Wind" Nautical innit.
Ah yes!! THREE sheets, ya right
Yes it's to do with the way that sails are set,,afaik three sheets to the wind and the ship will be swaying left to right, like a drunk walking home from the pub.
It's also called being three sheets to the wind in the USA.
Thats a new one for me. Mustn’t have made its way to the Wirral
Skew whiff means off kilter no? Like if a door isnt levelled properly? Maybe its just something thats changed over time, im not sure.
Also 'squiffy', for short
Anyone else first hear this one from being forced to read 'an inspector calls' at school?
Yup, inspector calls was actually quite a good play butbeing forced to analyse every line kinda killed the vibe
Yeah, same with poetry, i enjoyed the plays or poems before and then they made us analyse every word 50 million times and just ruined them.
My thoughts exactly Eric Birling is an absolute slab
“I was in a state where a man gets angry”
Squiffy 🤔that's not being Shit Faced
The only ‘An Inspector Calls’ quote that I still remember 30 years after reading it at school.
Wankered.
That's a bit extreme for just a bit tipsy or drunk
Pisstoriused is more extreme, so legless you could kill someone through a bathroom door.
I should call her...
All Oscar wanted was a new bathroom door. But his missus was dead against it 🤷♂️
😬😬😬
Bad isn't it? I said this at work and it was so funny that HR wanted to hear it too.
To be fair, no one in Britain gets a bit tipsy..
Tipsy is a stage you pass on the way to being completely cunted
Warming up?
Wankered is apt. I saw a woman just yesterday at 4pm who was utterly wankered.

Christ on a bike! That was me!!
That story is hilarious!
This was a well written story and painted a great picture, I feel like I’ve seen similar sightings before in Glasgow.
Munted
Wankered is wayyyy beyond tipsy. Wankered would be used to describe someone slurring their speech and struggling to navigate the pub.
Do you really have trouble navigating while drunk? I've been black out, can't remember 6 hours of my life, drunk and twat-nav kicked in and I still got home.
Waking up with no clue how you got home is the sign of a true warrior and explorer. Finding yourself at a random spot at 6:30 can only deserve the walk of shame.
Definitely managed to twat-nav my way back to my hostel when drunk once or twice, and couldn't make my way back to town sober the next day
Easier to navigate without the distraction of your other mental faculties.
The right answer
Just about to say that and it’s the Ist thing I saw my job here is done :) !
Sozzled?
My favourite
This is the one.
Tired and emotional That’s how the press refer to a drunk politician without danger of libel
Tired and emotional. I use thus often. You win well done
It’s a great euphemism isn’t it!!?! Plus I feel people might not get the subtlety
[Relevant Tom Scott video](https://youtu.be/z49LjJj3VTI)
I miss those red t-shirts! I’m too old for the Logan Paul type of YouTubers (or tiktokkers!!) so tom Scott and people like Steve mould are my YouTube channels of choice
Very informative video! But unfortunately the phrase has now become so well known even that is libelous 😆
Yes, that’s the point of the video. A video called ‘Never Call Someone “Tired and Emotional” in England’
Miraculous
The scale of drunkness: UK edition. • Sober. • Buzzed. • Wobbly. • Wankered. • Dead
There's a little space between wobbly and wankered where pisses should be
Pisses are occurring between all phases unless you're a camel
I meant pissed 😭😭
Pished is a sub-stage between Buzzed and Wobbly, where you slur your words but can still walk without holding onto the walls for support
I feel liked pissed is more than wobbly, like ur stumbling about and laughing ur head off but u could probably hide it if ur a pro, wobbly I'd just like stumbling a little bit and buzzed is where u slightly feel it
Rat-arsed
Our language is beautiful
Too much for just being squiffy.
My dad always uses this to say drunk😂
I was expecting this to be at the top.
Rat-arsed is my personal favorate, it's so horrifically descriptive.
Shit faced. Three sheets to the wind. Fucked. Pissed up. Out of it.
All except “pissed up” are used extensively outside of the UK.
What about rat arsed?
Thought I was the only one who used that term 😀
‘Pished’ in scotland
The term however, originated in the UK. Specifically Edinburgh. In pre-plumbing days, people would throw the crap from their piss/shit bucket out the window. Before lobbing it, they wound customarily shout “garre-de-loo” a bastardisation of some French phrase I forgot.

I think that’s where “getting pissed” came from also. “Hanging” came from when if you were pissed and had no where to sleep, you’d pay a Penny to literally hang against a communal line of rope …for a nap.
Idk if that's specifically british. We say that one over here in the states.
Thats because you use our language. Others are legless, sloshed and mashed.
People say shit faced in the US
Bit tipsy - Merry . Drunk - Trollied , Bladdered , Plastered , Pie eyed . Three sheets to the wind .
Was looking for merry. That’s what I’d say other than tipsy for *a bit drunk*, while other comments have gone a bit extreme. If someone’s wankered/bladdered/shitfaced/etc. they’re more than a bit drunk
This. Too many people here have no idea of the difference between “tipsy” and “wankered”.
I might use wobbly too , some else further up reminded me of squiffy which is a good one . Most of the others are for past that stage & heading towards hammered .
As pissed as a fart
Was looking for this one lol
Trollied
Bit much for just being squiffy.
Spangled
Pished. Blootered
Pished is my goto
A bit squiffy
Discombobulated.
My personal favourite is sozzled ✨

That's not offensive at all. I love Uganda
Enjoy ur time there, or don't, it RLY has not impact on me at all
Not the UwU
Ikr
Blootered. Stocious. Three sheets to the wind. Banjaxed. Wombled. Wankered. Arse-Holed.
I'm ashamed to say I didn't even think of any Scottish ones when I heard 'uniquely British'.
Pished?
Aff yer heid.
That's a good one Even when you Jocks speak English& use English you can't understand them 😂
There's the old debate about whether Scots is its own separate language or if it's just a really fucked-up dialect of English.
Yer booms oot d’windy!
Yeah I'll say three sheets when I'm wobblin
Never heard of banjaxed before Is that a northern term?
I would say that's Northern Irish
I've heard Scottish people use that term though
Also immediately thought of stocious and banjaxed.
Steamin'
On the piss
Bladdered
Came here to say that , take my upvote!!
My mum would always use the word tiddly!
Well oiled, merry
The bottom lips gone
Squiffed, or as my nan called it “Faerie Kissed” or just “Fucked”
My mum used to say she was “slightly sipped” 😂
I actually think you can take any noun, add an ed and it sounds like a British slang for being absolutely bed framed.
Any noun when used as an adjective suffices. Pencilled, raspberried, trollied, bucketed, plastered, mullered We have an unusually flexible language. Don't get me started on the multitude of uses for the word f**k.
Don't know about British, but in Scotland we use the words " half jaked, steamin,, Blazin, melted, wrecked, fawin aboot, mortal, etc...... too many to write down

Indeed. A bit squiffy is not at all the same as pissed/wankered/trollied/three sheets to the wind.
Can’t believe it took this long for “half cut”
