I’ve always had a fascination with words. Even as a child I would pour through dictionaries, encyclopedias and any reference book I could get my hands on. In 1991-92, I wrote a guidebook to bars in the county where I was living at that time and in that book I also included several appendices, one of which was a list of slang terms for being drunk. It wasn’t then — and it still isn’t — an endorsement of over-indulging but rather a great illustration of the inventiveness of English-speakers and the richness of the language itself. There are literally hundreds, possibly thousands, of words and phrases that all mean the same thing, that you’ve had a wee bit too much to drink. The list is alphabetical and you click on a letter below to take you to that letter’s drunken words. If you know of one that’s not listed here, please drop me a note and I’ll add it. Thanks.

The Eight Conditions of Overindulgence

This is taken from Thomas Nashe’s Pierce Penniless, published in 1582.

1. Ape drunke
2. Lion drunke
3. Swine drunke
4. Mawdlin drunke
5. Martin drunke
6. Goat drunke
7. Foxe drunke

Here’s the full quote that describes how he defines each of the eight drunks:

Nor haue we one or two kinde of drunkards onely, but eight kindes. The first is Ape drunke, and he leapes, and sings, and hollowes, and daunceth for the heauens: the second is Lion drunke, and he flings the pots about the house, calls his Hostesse whore, breakes the glasse windowes with his dagger, and is apt to quarrel with any man that speaks to him: the third is Swine drunke, heauy, lumpish, and sleepie, and cries for a little more drinke, and a fewe more cloathes: the fourth is Sheepe drunke, wise in his owne conceipt, when he cannot bring foorth a right word, the fifth is Mawdlen drunke, when a fellowe will weepe for kindnes in the midst of his Ale, and kisse you, saying; by God Captaine I loue thee, goe thy waies thou dost not thinke so often of me as I do of thee, I would (if it pleased GOD) I could not loue thee so well as I doo, and then he puts his finger in his eie, and cries: the sixt is Martin drunke, when a man is drunke and drinkes himselfe sober ere he stirre: the seauenth is Goate drunke, when in his drunkennes he hath no minde but on Lechery: the eighth is Foxe drunke, when he is craftie drunke, as many of the Dutch men bee, will neuer bargaine but when they are drunke. All these Species and more I haue seene practised in one Company at one sitting, when I haue beene permitted to remaine sober amongst them, onely to note their seuerall humors. Hee that plies any one of them harde, it will make him to write admirable verses, to haue a deepe casting head, though hee were neuer so verie a Dunce before.
