A skinful is a lot of alcohol — enough to make a person drunk. You almost always meet it in the phrase have a skinful or have had a skinful, meaning drink a great deal and get drunk. It is a noun, not a verb: you do not “skinful”; you have one. The English is informal and British, and it sounds a bit older now. It is not a polite or medical way to talk, and it does not mean a small drink. Friends might say it after a wedding or a night in the pub; you would not say it in a doctor's room.
have a skinful：喝很多、喝到醉（英式口語，偏過時；這是名詞，不是動詞）
