insultos que dije medio borracha

Explanation:
Please take into account the very informal tone. You can use other words instead of "borracha," but "ebria" sounds a little formal in this context. Ultimately, it's your choice.

Viendo el contexto completo, quizás vaya mejor algo como 'sandeces/barbaridades dichas en estado de ebriedad'

sandeces/estupideces de borrachín

Explanation:
Me parece que esta opción contiene tanto el nivel de lengua presente en "trash-talking" como para "tipsy". Como no está claro que sean cosas que dice una mujer, prefiero usar el masculino como genérico... sobre todo teniendo en cuenta el título del artículo...
