Regional synonyms

A Salvadoran word for someone who is drunk, past the buzz, coordination clearly gone. Not as wrecked as being completely smashed but way past just tipsy. It's the middle ground where you can tell they've been drinking but they're still somehow standing and making a fool of themselves.
