Not so much a euphamism, more of a metaphor, but I do like 'pissed as a fiddler's bitch'.

Absolutely no idea where it came from, but its a reasonably common phrase around my part of Cornwall.

Edited to add: Slow day at work Mrs Fish?

always enjoyed getting "shedded". Haven't got a clue where it comes from, I first heard it in Bristol.

'Shedded' seems quite common here in Bristol, but I've never heard 'Ankled'...

'Wasted' also very common

Oi! I have only today taken delivery of a fine 1977 album "Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live".

Maybe it was just his 80s stuff which was sad
