Shitfaced is a slang term, primarily used in informal contexts, to describe a state of extreme intoxication caused by the consumption of alcohol.
It indicates that a person is very drunk, often to the point of impaired coordination, slurred speech, and compromised judgment.
The term implies a level of inebriation beyond being merely tipsy or buzzed, suggesting a significant loss of control and potential for boisterous or regrettable behavior.
The etymology of 'shitfaced' is rooted in the graphic and crude nature of the slang, emphasizing the severe and often messy consequences associated with excessive alcohol consumption.
It is generally considered a vulgar term and should be used with caution. It is essential to use this word in appropriate contexts. Furthermore, the severity implied can also mean that the drunk person may be likely to be sick. This can vary from person to person, depending on bodyweight, hydration levels and how quickly the drinks have been consumed.
