'drunk?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'has edward' is the wordplay.
'has' becomes 'was' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'edward' becomes 'ted'.
'was'+'ted'='WASTED'

'got' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wasted that I've seen before include "Frittered away" , "Dissipated; atrophied" , "three sheets to the wind" , "Spent unprofitably - emaciated" , "Having lost weight through illness - dissipated?" .)
