    "Wankered" would be British, too.


    And a few more colorful drinking-related phrases:

    Beergoggles: how your vision is altered to find members of the opposite sex more attractive when you're drunk: "He was wearing beergoggles last night."

    To chug: to drink a beer really fast. Also can say "to slam" or "to pound".

    Dead soldiers: empty beer bottles or empty shot glasses, lined up on the bar.

    Munchies: food cravings caused by alcohol or marijuana.

    Bedspins: when you're drunk and laying on your bed, and it feels like the world is spinning.

    Synonyms for "to vomit": puke, hurl, heave, spew, yurk, york, retch, barf, ralph, blow chunks, pray to the porcelain goddess, lose your lunch.

    You seem to have lots of experience!

    What about "boozing up?"

    I've heard it, but it's not common, not among people younger than 50. We don't use the word "booze" that much anymore. More common is "liquor", "alcohol", "drinks". For "boozed up", we'd say "liquored up", or use one of the other phrases above.

    I can't believe the Brits didn't add "soused" to their list.

    I remembered one thing. In my university group my friends, when they want to say about somebody that he drunk much alcohol, they say simply "он синий", "мы синие" etc. I never heard this term in other places, so I'm wondering, have somebody of Russian users heard such expression?

    Синий

    I've never heard or used it.
    BUT
    1. It may me a slang word, and I'm far from slang.
    2. Probably this word was made up by a relatvely small group of people (students of University, for ex.), and nobody really knows of it.

    By the way, He is blue - Он голубой - means He is a gay.

    I haven't remeber where (in what sentense I have heard them) but it exist too. Of cause it is slang, but a lot of words before were slang too.
