My personal favourite from that list:

"Crapulous"
Adjective

crapulous (comparative more crapulous, superlative most crapulous)

Characterized by excessive eating or drinking.

Suffering physically from the consequences of excessive eating or drinking.

Surcharged with liquor; sick from excessive indulgence in drinking or eating; drunk.

Sums up my last weekend. :D

    Surcharged with liquor is a nice turn of phrase. Must remember that. Not that I'd ever need it of course.
