Who ever uses the expression "stoned" to mean "intoxicated" ?

Anyone ?

There's a clue in today's crossword ...

10(A). Severely punished for being drunk (6)

I'm guessing the answer is "STONED", but seriously ...

... you'd only say someone was "stoned" if they'd taken some other drugs, surely ?

Presumably, "RATTED" doesn't work, because it's not a punishment ... except in the book "1984" when the Thought Police have the cage with the rats in it.

Plastered or Pie Eyed !

Hey ... "LASHED" would've worked (although I think the 4th letter is "N").

Well, I'm glad it's not just me who thinks that "stoned" is just wrong.
I don't have a drinking problem
I drink. I get drunk. I fall down. No problem.

stoned = drunk - yes that's what I'd assume -
stoned means p'ssed!

he he
You've never been truly drunk until you've had to use a barstool as a walker to get home.

"he he" was to RATTER

Okay, so ... is this some sort of regional thing ???
regional - I don't know. I'm born and bred a moonraker but now based in West Midlands
Stoned means drugged to me but my parents (both now dead) used stoned to mean drunk
Prudie - you got in first - I would have said exactly the same.
Question Author
Age thing, then ??
Exactly JJ!
Certainly as a youngster back in the early mesolithic, stoned was used to mean drunk as well as drugged - but one simply didn't come across drugged people.
It is used in this context in Frank Sinatra's 'Did you evah'.
