Answer:
- "Jingled" - Definition: slang : mildly drunk. If the number of words a language has to express a certain item reflects on the individuals who speak that language, then English-speakers (or, at the very least, our collective livers) are in a bad way.
- "Pot-valiant"- Definition: bold or courageous under the influence of alcoholic drink. Strong drinks are frequently referred to as liquid-courage, a compound term that is both practical and simple to comprehend. We have an adjective for someone who feels the affects of drinking this chemical in pot-valiant. In addition, the word is fairly obscure, and most people who hear it will be perplexed.
- "Half-seas Over" - Definition: drunk. Half-Seas Over, a book of British songs and verse published in 1869, is a wonderful old English ditty that extols the virtues of a guy being somewhat tipsy before attempting to wax romantic with a woman.
- "Symposium"- Definition: a drinking party; especially : one following a banquet and providing music, singing, and conversation. The term "symposium" is now commonly used to refer to a gathering of specialists or a collection of writings on a certain topic, but it was first used in English to refer to a drinking party. In fact, the word comes from the ancient Greek sympinein, which means 'to drink together.' Given its history, symposium serves as a valuable reminder that a word's contemporary meaning can often deviate significantly from its origins.
- "Antifogmatic"- Definition: a drink of liquor taken to counteract the effect of fog or dampness. Antifogmatics are mentioned in a trip book produced in the early nineteenth century, along with a brief list of other types of drinks that were allegedly favored by citizens of the state of Virginia at the time. There were gum-ticklers ('a gill of spirits, often rum, taken fasting'), phlegm-cutters ('a double dose soon before morning'), and gall-breakers ('approximately half a pint of ardent spirits') in addition to the drink supposed to counteract the fog. None of these names have managed to make it into the present cocktail lexicon.
