vewählt

Vewählt is a term primarily used in German-speaking regions, particularly Switzerland, to describe a state of being drunk or intoxicated. It is a colloquial expression that conveys a sense of significant impairment from alcohol consumption. The word itself is derived from the German verb "wählen," which means "to choose," but in this context, it has evolved to imply a deliberate choice or consequence leading to intoxication.

The term is often used in informal settings and can range in intensity. While it can simply mean being tipsy, it more commonly refers to being quite drunk, perhaps to the point of experiencing slurred speech, impaired coordination, or a loss of inhibitions. The exact degree of intoxication implied by "vewählt" can vary depending on the speaker and the context of the conversation.

Beyond its literal meaning, "vewählt" can sometimes be used humorously or self-deprecatingly. For instance, someone might say they are "vewählt" after a celebratory event or a long day. It is generally understood as a lighthearted descriptor of a temporary condition. While it is a widely recognized term in Swiss German dialects, its usage may be less common or understood in other German-speaking areas.
