In 1737, Benjamin Franklin published The Drinker's Dictionary in his Pennsylvania Gazette. It is a humorous listing of nearly 230 terms, names and euphemisms for Drunkenness.
Franklin's introduction and epilogue make clear his love of wit and irony... and it is still amusing nearly 300 years later.
Here are a few examples:
He's Biggy,
Has Stole a Manchet out of the Brewer's Basket,
Half Way to Concord,
Cock Eyed,
Jolly,
Merry...
and many, many more.
