Dedicated to the lighter side of our common problem - From the January 1963 Grapevine
AS A NEW YEAR ROLLS AROUND, it is well to recall that there are some 325 synonyms for getting drunk but only one describing the immediate result of any of the 325--and that's "hangover." In the list we have before us, some of the synonyms for getting boozed up are unfamiliar: shikkered, woofled, scronched, whipsey, plonked, bowzered and flacked. Guess we didn't get around enough when we were vulcanized.
