   “Barfly” is more often used to refer to an alcoholic who’s central occupation is hanging around in bars. The drunk who is there at noon when the bar opens, and the guy who has to be thrown out when it closes.

   I don’t know why “wet one’s whistle” would have anything to do with cleaning the pallet. It refers to quenching a dry thirst. The expression is used to justify a drink. “It’s early for a cocktail, but I could stand to wet my whistle”.

   “Juiced up” is more often used to refer to someone on steroids.

   Never heard “souce” used as a noun. “Souced” is the more commonly used form – as in, “that guy is souced”.

   All the best ones are the “offensive” ones that you have chosen to avoid…

   Three sheets to the wind derives from sailing. The ropes that control the sails on a yacht are called ’sheets’. Three sheets to the wind means that the sails are loose and flapping – making a lot of noise, going nowhere – the yacht is out of control.

   This condition is analogous to a person lurching about, speaking in a loud, slurred voice. This person is out of control, or, three sheets to the wind.

   3 sheets to the wind is a phrase from sailing. Sheets are actually the lines that haul the sails. If they are not tied down properly they (and the sails) are “to the wind”. If 3 of your sheets are in this state, your boat is out of control.

   ‘Gutter-sleepin’-drunk’ when a poor college student gets the ATM to spit out money and prepares to get ‘tore down’. Once Tore Down, invariably, he is Gutter-sleepin’-Drunk and hence wakes up aside the sidewalk.

   From Univ. Tennessee students in KeyWest multiple conversations from varied UT students, same phrase.

   In our country, we also have some lovely funny slang terms for spirits, such as:

   1. “Rocket”: spirit with alcohol content above 40%;
   2. “Sweet girl” (Dieu Linh from “Rieu”, “Ruou” in Vietnamese language);
   3. “North to South” or “One hundred percent” (in the US, you may say “from Alaska to California”): means “bottom up”. Cheer, click and drink a full glass immediatly (may cause an “alcohol shock” bcos of the way of drinking. For many Vietnamese men, they love to drink about 50 to 80ml per “click” and average 8 – 10 clicks for an occasion).
