A vivid Australian slang expression meaning extremely drunk — so loaded that you're as full (of alcohol) as a boot is full of water. The phrase is part of a rich Australian tradition of colourful drunk-comparisons, sitting alongside classics like 'full as a goog' (egg) and 'maggot'. It's used with affectionate exasperation or cheerful self-awareness, perfectly capturing the Australian tendency to describe heavy drinking with humorous everyday imagery.
