Etymology

The term 'sloshed' is believed to originate from the early 20th century, with its first recorded use appearing in the 1940s. Its roots can be traced back to the verb 'slosh', which means to spill or splash liquid, often referring to sloshing around in a container. The informal nature of the word contributes to its use in describing a person who has consumed too much alcohol and is metaphorically 'sloshing' about in a state of drunkenness. It reflects a colloquial and playful approach to describing intoxication and is often used in social settings, particularly among young adults. Over the years, 'sloshed' has become a common slang term in English-speaking cultures, encompassing the humorous perspective that many people have regarding excessive drinking.
