Etymology

The term 'plastered' in the context of intoxication has its origins rooted in the word 'plaster.' The use of 'plaster' to describe a state of drunkenness dates back to the early 20th century and is believed to evoke the idea of someone being 'stuck' or 'smeared' with alcohol, akin to how plaster can coat a surface. The imagery suggests a lack of control and the idea of being overwhelmingly covered with the effects of drinking. While the exact timeline of its popularization is unclear, 'plastered' found its way into colloquial language through entertainment, music, and social drinking culture, becoming a standard slang term for being excessively drunk. Over time, the meaning has retained a humorous edge, contrasting with the serious implications of alcoholism and excessive drinking.
