As best I can tell, no one has yet mentioned "in his cups."
I recall hearing the phrase as a youngster, and ascertaining its meaning from context.
My people didn't use the phrase, though. The equivalent in our circles was "he's feeling no pain."
Many and varied are the euphemisms for alcoholic inebriation. Snockered. Wooflesnated. Plastered. Zonked. On his lips. Bombed.
Surely there are hundreds more.
Hammered.
Wasted.
Polluted.
Annihilated.
