Morphology

plastered = plaster (opaque) = plaster + ed

The 'very drunk' sense is an idiomatic/slang extension and is not predictable from the literal verb 'plaster' for most learners.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember the slang plastered (very drunk) is to imagine being 'covered' like a wall in plaster — totally coated and stuck. That's why plastered came to mean very drunk or unable to act clearly.
