fully krausened 

Synonym for drunk. Pronounced "kroy-zind."

Origin: Heileman's Old Style Beer once advertised itself as "Fully Krausened." Krausening is a brewing process of naturally carbonating beer by adding a little fresh fermenting beer to the finished product and letting it finish out in an air tight environment, so that the CO2 which is produced is absorbed into the liquid. While legitimate in origin, the term became associated with drinking too much beer.

Most commonly heard in Chicago, Wisconsin, and other parts of the US Midwest where Old Style is most available and popular.

Dad downed a six-pack before halftime of the Packers game. He rants about Favre when he's fully krausened.
