Someone who is "tipsy" has been drinking alcohol to the point of becoming mildly or lightly drunk. They could also be described as being "merry" or "jolly", because they are not seriously drunk.
If a person is doing something "under the influence", it means they are doing it "under the influence of alcohol". Being "intoxicated" and "under the influence" are synonymous.
This is incorrect. When someone is "ostracized", they have been rejected, banished or driven away from a group. For example: "I couldn't understand why I had been ostracized from the "knitting club" at church. Just because my dog bit the vicar's wife".
When someone is "flabbergasted", they are astonished or greatly surprised at something. For example: "I was flabbergasted when I opened the front door. An alien was standing there holding a bunch of flowers from my garden".
