Québécois 101
Paqueté(e) (Pak-teh): This word is used as a colloquial term to describe a person who is drunk. “Bourré(e)” is a term more popular in France to describe the same idea. Paqueter actually means to pack up or bundle things; bourrer means to stuff. In a way, both terms suggest the idea of filling yourself (in this context with alcohol).
