The Social Historian 
The guy I did my PhD on collected at least 56 euphemisms for being drunk in Gascon! Cheeky preview: “To talk in mixes, to raise your sail, to have a servant, to climb the vines, to load up the cart, to be fixed, or to suffer from perpite, a disease that normally affects chickens, can all mean being drunk. When Félix and his friend Duport saw a man asleep under a tree on Ash Wednesday, Duport suggested to the folklorist that Mardigras – the personification of Carnival – had hit him on the head. There was even a specific word for a drunk person’s vomit. … Figuratively, drunkenness was associated with being ‘bewitched’, ‘ripe’, and ‘full’. Drinkers have ‘wine noses’ and rosy cheeks. They even ‘sweat wine from [their] eyes’.”
Interesting that Radler (apparently meaning cyclist in German) is a mix of beer and soda and is being used to name various brews from small independent breweries in North America. For instance; http://www.mensjournal.com/expert-advice/the-10-best-shandy-and-radler-beers-20150605
‘Had a jag’ could be revived today – I think I’ll start using that one. Great post
I’ve heard “on a jag” a number of time. I think it’s related to the usage of “jag” as in a “crying jag”.
