I assume you want as many synonyms as possible. A couple more:
.

dead drunk
out of it
out of his mind (Did I make that one up?)
as drunk as a sailor (Did I make that one up?)

​

.
To find more, you might want to Google "synonyms for drunkenness".

As the other helpful replies suggest, there are hundreds of terms in English for someone who is drunk. You can use different words for different degrees of drunkeness too - google will help you.

Just be careful - do you mean เมา (drunk) or คนขี้เมา (alcholic / drunkard)?

 

[Suthipong]

At first, I mean a drunk man/drunkard

it's synonyms

but to know more about drunk (or เมา in my language) also good for me

Thank you,

Suthipong.

I am saying that people have suggested two types of words.




The first are words for a person who is drunk right now. They might not have ever drunk alcohol before, we don't know. Usage: He/she is...

• drunk
• smashed
• intoxicated

But e2e4 has suggested word for someone who is often drunk. Usage: He/she is a...

• heavy drinker
• drunkard
• wino
• lush
• drunkard

Be carefull with the phrase "He is a drunk man". It might just mean that the man is drunk now. The specific phrase, "He is a drunk" suggests the man is often drunk. I find that a lot of Thai people make this error.

 

[Ouisch]

I say whether he meant smashed or an incurable lush, let's just all raise a glass and all be friends. *hic* Honest, officer, I only had two beers..... :cheers::cheers:

As per the site rule, I declare that I am not an English teacher by profession. I'm an IT professional from New York, but teach a lot - my students are my juniors, ie IT professionals from Philippines, India, Vietnam and China.

First of all, drunk man and drunkard are different. Drunk man is a person who is overcome by alcoholic liquor. It is a temporary situation. For example, in New York during New Year I get drunk, and I become a drunk woman! However, I am not a drunkard. I drink only socially - I don't buy and drink! But drunkard is a person who often gets drunk. He must be paying his money as well as others' money to buy drinks. He gets inebriated.

(Example: "I don't like to take the bus at night. It is full of drunks and crazy people", and "Unfortunately Mary had married an incurable drunkard.")

As a software engineer, who faces challenges of communication every day I have few suggestions to make. This is from a professional's point of view and a teacher's point of view. In industry, you can win over people only by bombarding ideas. No English lesson teaches you this. What we need is content based instruction and theme-based learning. According to European commission, it is the only way to acquire language skills - all other methods are just waste of time and money. I recommend you to search for products like Smart English through Technology and Science (which we regularly use in our company), Smart English through Success Secrets or Smart Communication through Management Ideas, Smart Communication through Wit & Wisdom, etc. (Sorry. I forgot the publishers' name). However, content-based instruction helps you become articulate and effective.

An alcoholic or an inebriate (Is that a word?)

Don't get sloshed, for if you do you shall surely be witless.

"Its synonym"
Thank you for the correction.

"inebriated" is a word means an habitual drunkard. (Idiomatic and Syntactic English Dictionary) A.S.HORNBY , The Institute for Research in Language Teaching, Tokyo, Japan, 1941

"inebriated" is a word means an habitual drunkard. (Idiomatic and Syntactic English Dictionary) A.S.HORNBY , The Institute for Research in Language Teaching, Tokyo, Japan, 1941

In AmE, "inebriated" simply desribes a person who is drunk at that particular time. It does not mean that the person is a habitual drinker or an alcoholic. For example, a person might go to a karaoke bar with friends after work. He had been very busy during the day so he didn't have time to eat lunch. He's not a regular drinker, so one beer on an empty stomach got him inebriated enough to go onstage and sing "Kung Fu Fighting" in front a bunch of strangers. Monday morning when he returns to the office and his co-workers start teasing him about his singing, he'll say to himself "I will never get drunk again!"

As Ouisch said, that book is wrong. Japan 1941? Jesus Christ Superstar, that book is probably not the best source! Maybe the publishers had other things on their minds at the time.

Yes, RonBee, inebriate is a word but it has different meanings as a verb and adjective.

inebriate (verb): to make drunk. Rarely used in my experience.
inebriate (adjective): a habitual drunkard.

So, inebriated is a form of the verb - just means drunk.
