Verb

酔(よ)っ払(ぱら)う • (yopparau) intransitive godan (stem 酔(よ)っ払(ぱら)い (yopparai), past 酔(よ)っ払(ぱら)った (yopparatta))

  1. (colloquial) to become tipsy, intoxicated, or drunk

Usage notes

While 酔(よ)っ払(ぱら)う (yopparau) and 酔(よ)う (you) are used interchangeably for becoming drunk, 酔(よ)う (you) is a more general term, also used for sickness (as in seasickness) or elation, while 酔(よ)っ払(ぱら)う (yopparau) is a more narrow term, referring only to drunkenness.

Further, 酔(よ)い (yoi) refers to drunkenness (the condition), while 酔(よ)っ払(ぱら)い (yopparai) refers to a drunk (the person).
