在英语中，描述“醉酒”有上百个词，从非常口语化的 “wasted”, “hammered” 到中性的 “drunk”，再到高度正式的 “inebriated” 或 “intoxicated”。在警察报告或医疗记录中，“inebriated” 是首选词汇。

将单词与 beer (啤酒) 联想。虽然拼写不同，但发音中有类似 /bri/ 的部分。想象喝了太多的啤酒（beer），你就变得 “inebriated” (醉了)。
“Old Uncle Bob had a bit too much to drink at the family reunion. He stood on a chair and tried to sing opera, looking very inebriated indeed. His wife quickly led him to a quiet corner and gave him some black coffee. ‘He gets a bit inebriated at every party,’ she sighed with a smile.” (在家庭聚会上，鲍勃叔叔喝得有点多。他站在椅子上试图唱歌剧，看起来确实醉得很厉害。他的妻子赶紧把他拉到一个安静的角落，给他喝了些黑咖啡。“他在每个派对上都会变得有点醉，”她微笑着叹了口气。)
