In one’s cups ( 酩酊大醉 )
英文成语 In one’s cups 是形容一个人喝了很多酒而醉倒。所以，如果说 Jeffery was in his cups last night，那就是指 Jeffery 昨晚喝醉了！
看看以下例子： ” Alan became very aggressive when he was in his cups. “ （当 Alan 喝醉后，他变得很凶恶。）由此可見，喝醉了酒會改變一個人的性情，而且使人討厭 (disgusting )。
我们亦多用 Get drunk 来形容人醉倒的样子。例如：“ Bobby was very happy in his friend’s wedding banquet. He drank to much and got drunk finally. “（ Bobby 在他朋友的婚宴会中，十分高兴。他也喝了很多酒，最终也醉倒了！）
