Rat-arsed
Significado: Extremely drunk; very heavily intoxicated.
Rat-arsed is crude but emphatic British slang for being very drunk indeed. The rat reference adds vividness—perhaps suggesting scuttling around like a rat or being in a disgusting state. It's strong language for a strong level of drunkenness.
