"gone" in this sense probably means close to death/dying and, to me, is similar to the noun "goner", which refers to a person who is (almost) certain to die.

I think in that link 'so gone' just means 'so drunk', even though the word 'comatose' is nearby. I don't think the 14-year-olds were near death.

Mister MicawberI think in that link 'so gone' just means 'so drunk', even though the word 'comatose' is nearby. I don't think the 14-year-olds were near death.

That was my first thought but I changed my mind because of the "comatose" and "so gone that they don't wake up to pee.." parts.

Hi,

In this context "so gone" means you are gone to unconscious state.

This is my perception.
