Definitions
American slang for being heavily or embarrassingly drunk — the kind of state where you've lost the plot and probably need someone to steer you home. To be clobbered is to be well beyond tipsy, possibly beyond even confidently drunk, and firmly into the territory where bad decisions become inevitable. The word borrows from the sense of being physically beaten, implying the alcohol has thoroughly overwhelmed you.
By the third round of shots she was completely clobbered and convinced she could solve everyone's relationship problems.

(US, slang) Drunk.
“Huge mistake! By not speaking out he has basically said only Labour’s view counts. That’s the antisemitism they falsely accused Corbyn of. The antisemitism that their Zionist donors actively promote. I hope Labour get absolutely clobbered in elections tomorrow!”

British and American dialectal slang for being drunk — thoroughly intoxicated and probably not in great shape. 'Larruped' comes from 'larrup,' meaning to beat or thrash, so being larruped is like being beaten up by alcohol — the booze has won and you're down. It's colourful, old-fashioned slang with a physical edge, the kind of word your grandfather might have used. Also found in some dialects meaning to beat or whip someone, adding to its rough-and-tumble character.
