All of mine sound silly in English (the ones that can even be translated), but I'll give it a go.

Someone's Mata Hari, Mortal Combat, Up the cherry tree, Entered the Matrix, or just drunk themselves into a swine (not sexualy, but into a general swine-like state).

We usually say "drunk as a swine" too.

Ahh, that reminds me of another. "Drunk as a skunk". Though admittedly, I've never known a drunk skunk, apparently someone somewhere has 😀
