Noted founding father Benjamin Franklin published a list of different ways we refer to someone as drunk in the Pennsylvania Gazette on January 6, 1737. Franklin said he collected these phrases at -what else- a tavern. Here are just a few:

Topsy Turvey,

As Drunk as David’s Sow,

He’s got his Top Gallant Sails out,

Seen the yellow Star,

As Stiff as a Ring-bolt,

The King is his Cousin,

Got Kib’d Heels,

As Dizzy as a Goose,

Had a Kick in the Guts,

Spoke with his Friend,

Cherubimical,

He’s kiss’d black Betty,

He’s had a Thump over the Head with Sampson’s Jawbone

Of course, that’s far from 200. See the rest at mental_floss. Link
