Quoting MarioninTurkey: The more formal word (less slang) for drunk is sarhoş:
Sarhoş musun? |
Yes - I realise that "kafa güzel" is slang but, from my limited experience, it seems to be used more than "sarhoş"
Quoting MarioninTurkey: For dün akşam, instead of saying are you, we have to ask were you, i.e. we put the Q word in past tense:
Dün akşam sarhoş muydun? |
Again something I knew but had forgotten 
I really must try and practice more often!!!
So is Dün akşam kafan güzeldi muydun? correct?
Or should it be Dün akşam kafa güzeldi muydun?

ok bod i will try to explain 
in english you say ' were u drunk?' which means 'sarhoş muydun? in turkish.
'kafan güzel miydi?'
here your not talking about him or her,your talking about his or her head... ummm ist hard to explain cuz its a slang yaaaa
ok what if i say 'senin kafan guzel miydi?'

Just as in the UK, it depends who you hang out with. ...
Kafan güzel mi? would be more young people bantering together, or a group of guys down the kahve. Not a good idea to use it to your boss, no matter how much of a jack the lad he was last night!!!
As kafa has the you ending on it, you don't put the you ending on the mi.
Kafa güzel musun is wrong. (Lit. this would be are you beautiful head)
Kafan güzel mi is right. (Lit is your head beautiful?)
