>> The American usage, I suspect, evolved from our "pissed off".

Correct. Americans might say: "Watch out! The boss is pissed." which is the same as "Watch out! The boss is pissed off!"

>> "I got pissed" means "I became very drunk"

The American English usage is typically: "piss drunk" meaning "so intoxicated that the person might urinate on themself".
