Sloshed
Significado: Very drunk, similar to wasted but with a slightly lighter, humorous tone.
Sloshed evokes the image of liquid sloshing around — which is what your brain feels like at this level of intoxication. It's a step above tipsy and roughly equivalent to hammered, but carries a slightly more humorous, less intense connotation. It's the kind of drunk that makes for funny stories rather than concerning ones.
