The state of being completely inebriated. The term 'castled' is a combination of the German word schloss which means castle and the term sloshed which means very drunk. Additionally, the term 'castled' is based loosely around the term housed for getting very drunk. When one gets castled they are a step up from getting housed as castles are larger than houses, implying that getting castled is drunker than getting housed. Urban Dictionary

Verb (to castle) The act of supplementing one’s pint of ale or stout with some form of hard spirit, traditionally a whisky. The glass containing spirit sits alongside the pint, separately. A punter of a drinking establishment who has a pint and a separate spirit on the go, simultaneously, is said to be drinking "castle kingside". The term is derived from the chess move of the same name, whereby the king is moved two squares towards a rook (castle) on the player's first rank, then the rook is moved to the square over which the king crossed. The outcome leaves the king and rook side-by-side. Urban Dictionary
