1. 1

    Drunk. This is a light, old-fashioned, joking word for it — the kind of word you use when nobody is angry and nothing bad happened. If you say someone was sozzled at the party, you are smiling a little: they had too much wine, they got loud or silly, they had to be walked home. It does not sound like a serious problem the way 'an alcoholic' does, and it does not sound rough or rude either. It is soft and almost , so people often use it about themselves ('I was completely sozzled') or about a friend, but you would not use it about a stranger you of. It is British, and it feels older — you meet it in books, in comedy, in the speech of people over about fifty. Younger British speakers know it but say it for fun, a bit like putting on an old hat. Americans mostly recognise it without using it. It almost always comes after a linking verb — 'he was sozzled', 'she got sozzled' — and much less often before a noun. English has a very large family of these joking drunk-words (, , , merry), and sozzled sits at the gentle, comic end of it: sillier than , warmer than .

    喝醉了、爛醉(帶點好笑、不責備的語氣,類似「喝掛了」;英式、偏老派)
