Juiced

In sports, particularly baseball, a player who is muscular due to steroid use is "juiced" (past tense of juicing). For example, you may argue whether or not 1990s slugger Mark McGwire should be in the Hall of Fame, "There's no way he should make the HOF, he's juiced!"

Juicing became a significant problem in baseball in the 1990s as players took performance-enhancing drugs to play better and stay healthier. Therefore, many baseball historians call this era the "Steroid Era" or "Juiced Era."

Alternative meaning

While most baseball fans and analysts use juiced regarding steroids, they may also use juiced in other ways. For example, a commentator may say the "bases are juiced" (when a runner occupies each base) or claim that baseballs are juiced if players hit many home runs.

While juiced may mean "excited," it may also mean "intoxicated," likely from drugs or alcohol. In this context, a person is filled with "juice," which is another name for the substance filling their body.

For example, if your uncle shows up to the family gathering intoxicated, your cousin may tell you, "Steer clear of Uncle Buck, he's juiced pretty good from the Jack Daniels right now." Or, your friend may message you, "I can't wait to get juiced with you tonight!"

Juiced is just one way to refer to intoxication in slang. Some examples include lit, marinated, and sloshed.
