In other words, what do they call getting rip-roaring drunk where YOU come from?
Here's a few to start the ball rolling:

Getting:
S--t-Faced
bent
polluted
paved

How 'bout YOU?

(disclaimer: in case my wife, mother, or pastor reads this thread, I no longer get "that way", and haven't in a couple of decades.) Wink

Pulled a Pooter Collins (a local "personality")
Plowed
Sotted
Stewed
Crocked
Tore up

But the best is my brother's sentiment of getting to the point of "It was one of those nights where you had to hang on to the grass to keep from falling off the yard."

Ahhh yes.  An erudite discussion of slang.

Great place to start  http://www.spraakservice.net/slangportal/american.htm
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds. It will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
- Charles Mackay, Scottish journalist, circa 1841

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon

I love to study slang.  I just found a great site that details the differences in meaning between the British and American definitions of the same word.  Makes me wonder why war hasn't broken out.

In case you guys haven't found it yet, make sure to check out moderndrunkardmagazine.com
I recommend the story about trying to outdrink Hemingway and "If they weren't serving drinks, I wasn't serving time."
