Groggified is a delightfully old-fashioned slang term for being drunk — specifically the kind of heavy, stupefied drunkenness associated with too much grog (cheap spirits or rum). The -ified suffix gives it an almost scientific air, as if intoxication were a formal chemical process. While the word is largely dated today, it has a rollicking, Dickensian charm that occasionally resurfaces in writing that wants to evoke period colour or comedic excess.
By the third round of rum punch he was thoroughly groggified and singing to himself in the corner.
