Is this like how Inuits have a bunch of words for snow because they deal with so much of it, Finnish people have different kinds of getting drunk?

    English has many words for snow too, you just don't think them as words for snow, such as snow, ice, slush, sleet, flake and hail off the top of my head.

    English, especially british one, has at least as many words for drunk as in finnish.

    I’ll start: drunk, pissed, hammered, plastered, sloshed, comatosed, wasted, tipsy, smashed.

    Rat-arsed, fizzled, fucked, fooked, fecked

    Isn't "fooked", "fecked" colloquial variations by location on "fucked", or is there some fine difference. I am led to belive that Irish prefer "fecked".

    There's a very popular (in the UK at least) comedian called Michael McIntyre who has a joke about how just about any word can become a euphemism for drunk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O597Bs6LZ7U
