Heading for a few pints in Dublin this weekend? Locals share common capital phrases for being 'drunk' after one too many beers

A Finglas local started an interesting thread on Facebook during the week.

He asked Dubliners to share their phrases for being "intoxicated or just plain drunk."

The man responsible for the thread, John Macken, started the discussion off by adding the words, ossafied and scuttered to the list.

Before long, the phrases came pouring in - and yes we meant that pun.

Favourites were: Lamped, rubbered, three sheets to the wind, elephants and locked.

One person commented: "As my Da used to say.. 'Sit down before ye fall down!'"

Another added: "Hammered, blotto, rattled, bladderred, banjaxed, mambod, the list is never ending."
