An Australian and British comparative slang phrase meaning extremely drunk. The simile is vivid and humorous — parrots, when fed fermented fruit, can get visibly intoxicated, stumbling and squawking. To be "pissed as a parrot" is to be at the sloppy, barely-standing level of intoxication, well past tipsy and deep into the kind of evening you won't fully remember. A staple of Aussie and UK party vocabulary, often said with a grin rather than judgment.
By the time the fourth round came around, Darren was pissed as a parrot and dancing on the table.
