Stupified with drink. Drunk. '' His alabandical behavior at the party embarrassed a lot of people.''

I'm not sure we need this one - there are plenty of more colourful descriptions for this state that people know, and some they don't if that's needed too. In his cups, sozzled, banjaxed, tipsy, legless, wellied, paralytic, hammered, battered, sudsy, lit up etc etc, all have a better specific meaning and application (and that's just a small selection of the polite ones!).

Ah, but consider the crossword or Scrabble value.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

Though for scrabble, it would need band to be played in a suitable location, at the same time you happened to have ALAICAL as your tiles. Sorry, I'm both a pedant and a keen scrabble player :D
