Drunk or intoxicated, usually from drinking too much alcohol. It's an informal way to describe someone who has consumed many drinks.
From 'booze' (from Middle Dutch 'buysen', meaning 'to drink to excess') + the past participle '-ed' (Old English '-ed'). The term emerged in English around the 1500s as drinking culture became prominent.
The word 'booze' comes from Dutch pirates who were famous for heavy drinking in the 1600s! The verb form has been around so long that there's even a Prohibition-era speakeasy called 'Booze' in New York—because apparently people liked being reminded of what they couldn't legally do.
