In informal British English, someone who is half-cut has had too much alcohol. They are drunk, or clearly getting there — walking a bit loosely, talking a bit loudly. It does not mean they have been cut with a knife. You hear it about nights out, pubs, and parties. It is casual and a little teasing, not a doctor’s word, and not a kind word if the drinking is a real problem. Though actually, Americans almost never say this; they are more likely to say , drunk, or wasted. “Half-” here is not a careful measurement. Nobody is checking whether you are exactly fifty percent drunk.
喝醉了(英式口語,有點醉或明顯醉了)
組成This is probably half- plus an old slang use of cut meaning “drunk.” The picture is not of a wound.
