Irish slang for being very drunk — not just tipsy, but genuinely, thoroughly intoxicated. When someone is polluted in the Irish sense, they've gone well past merry and into territory where coordination and good decisions are both distant memories. It's a vivid metaphor: your system has been contaminated, your judgment compromised, your ability to walk in a straight line seriously degraded. Used with the kind of amused resignation the Irish bring to stories about a big night out.
