What does plastered mean?

Plastered is a slang adjective that means extremely drunk.Plastered is just one of the many slang synonyms for intoxicated, including bombed, blitzed, hammered, smashed, wasted, trashed, sloshed, and tanked. Such words often imply that a person is drunk beyond a point of being able to function in even the most basic ways. Someone who’s described as plastered probably can’t even walk or talk properly. In many cases, a person who’s plastered is intoxicated to the point of blacking out—losing consciousness and probably losing their memory of what happened when they were intoxicated.Example: He got so plastered that he couldn’t remember anything that happened before he woke up in his car, which he had crashed into a tree.
