No-one's said sh*t-faced.

And is "(has had) one/a few too many" something that I or someone I know made up?

I am reminded of the Ottoman Sultan Selim, whose epithet was 'the Sot'.

Are there no teetotallers in Turkey ?

The guy that came up with the 'T-Total' concept had a really bad stutter and the saying came from his inability to say total abstinence. Hence, t-t-t-t-total. I forget the guy's name, but he is buried in the church on the grounds of the University of Central Lancashire. It was, and no doubt still is, commonplace for students to get really drunk and urinate on his grave, by way of protest I guess.


Interesting, can I be in your quiz team?

Now then dullards.

The stuttering alcoholic story has never been proved but the alcoholic in question was in a church in Acron Ohio, long before you were born.

Have a look at aahistory.org

He was attending one of the first AA meetings.

He was not from England, sorry dmb, the UK.

I hope he stayed for the duration of the meeting.

Uni of Central Lancs, well it must be better than Turkish unis.
