Note
This is British slang, and it usually travels with get: Gordon Legge's In Between Talking about the Football (1991) has friends planning on "getting rubbered" before a disco, and Giulio Saggin's Deep Fried Pizza (2011) uses the same phrase for a Friday-night celebration. Because it already means drunk to the limit, it is not graded with more or most. Keep it for casual talk.
