Morphology

pissed = piss (opaque) = piss + ed

Derived from the verb 'piss' with -ed, but the meaning 'drunk' is slang and not predictable from the verb's literal sense.

Etymology

Pissed (meaning 'very drunk') comes from the old word piss ('to urinate') and became crude slang for heavy drinking and loss of control. So, imagine someone who has drunk too much and lost control — that image helps remember why pissed can mean 'very drunk'.
