Answer

"sozzled" means "drunk". The word is not used every day, but it is understood.

Here is an example from the most recent Transformers movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNYztxTnU68

Answer

I can't think of a situation where 'sozzle' would be used as a verb.  We sometimes use the past participle - sozzled - as an adjective to mean 'drunk'.  This is slightly old-fashioned : a fifty-year-old person might use it occasionally, while a twenty-year-old person would probably understand it but not use it.

Answer

It is not common at all, in fact it is archaic and most native speakers have never even heard it.
