Word Origin & Etymology

Formed from the verb 'slosh' (meaning to splash or move liquid around noisily), which is likely a mid-19th-century blend or variant of 'slush' and 'slop'; the slang sense of being heavily intoxicated emerged in the mid-20th century, evoking the image of someone saturated with alcohol.
