I've always used, "drunk, drunker, shit-faced".

In the old days, drunk.

Now, due to my meds, if have any alcohol I'm looking at the dirt nap.

All rules of grammar aside, "drank tank" has a nicer ring to it than "drunk tank"...though I'd accept "drunk trunk" as a reasonable compromise, since it's not actually a "tank" to begin with anyhow...

Victim of a downward spiral of alcoholism, the distinguished professor finally graduated from think tank to drunk tank.
