very drunk; so drunk as to be unconscious or not know what one is doing.
c.1905, from some signification of blot (v.) in its "soak up liquid" meaning. (dictionary.com)
"'After you've bronzed and bouffanted those blotto sopranos,' said Boris Marcelovsky to his assistants, a blond bombshell and a buxom blonde, 'would you enamel the toes of those two Belladonni before they dismantle the magazine rack and otherwise trash my salon.'"
