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...

Example sentence(s):

stop talking trash! ¡deja de decir estupideces! (Oxford SuperLex)
