shell

Extreme intoxication through alcohol consumption. Typically characterised by the inability to respond coherently to even simple questions. Derived from 'shell of a man'. One step up the scale of drunkenness from battered.

That was an excellent night. There was loads of beer and I pushed through battered to achieve shell.

battered

I'm pretty embarrassed about last night... I was completely battered.

steaming

Moderate intoxication through alcohol consumption. Typically characterised by a noticable reduction in common sense and decision making capacity. One step above pissed on the scale of drunkenness and one below battered.

We seem to have a few traffic cones in our living room. I guess we were steaming last night.

pissed

Slight intoxication through alcohol consumption. Typically characterised by a slight sense of drunkenness but none of the more advanced symptoms such as a reduction in inhibitions, loss of self control or inability to respond to questions. One step above sober on the scale of drunkenness and one step below steaming.

I was a bit pissed still when I arrived at work but my boss definitely couldn't have noticed.
