I've never heard this before, but I'll take a stab at it.
Wow! That guy sure is drunk, he can't hold his alcohol at all.

Good job, David. I've been asking some Spaniards today and none of them knew what it meant either...Only one of them was able to tell me and she was a friend of Alfonso's... So maybe it's something they say in his "pueblo"...

I found a video of a party with the caption:
Quote:
Menudo globo llevaba la gente, menos mal que yo no bebí y estaba apto para grabar este video.

Great, David, you've got it.

En el video está claro lo que es un globo, y un pedo... Creo que son expresiones algo vulgares, sobre todo la última, que sólo se utilizan en España.

Iris, leave my friends alone...
This is for you, Iris:

En México tambien se usa la palabra, aunque vulgar, "pedo" para indicar que la persona está embriagada/borracha.

El vecino estaba bien pedo anoche.
The neighbor was really drunk las night.

or

Me puse una peda bien buena la semana pasada.
I got real drunk last week.

Oops and pedo make a comical though stinky combo

David,
Alfonso offered a new expression to say somebody is drunk and I said I thought it was very rude (vasto).

But I don't think it's very rude. To me, it sounds less rude than ¡Vaya pedo lleva ése!
If you use pedal instead of pedo you're softening the phrase.

Totally disagree. To me is the other way around.We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

So you think pedal is a great pedo?
To me, Spanish pedal is English pedal. That's what I think if I say: ¡Qué gran pedal lleva ese! It doesn't make any sense, but the other way around doesn't make any sense either.

For our Mexican friends . . .
I do hope everyone here understands that to say someone is a pedo in English is a far more serious and disturbing accusation.
