today we're getting drunk on English now
I'm kidding we're getting drunk in
English today I'm going to show you
different idioms different expressions
that you can use this weekend to get
your buzz on to get wasted
hopefully not dead but definitely
definitely it's going to be a good
weekend
if you need worksheets for extra
practice for this and many other lessons
you can join my channel as a member or
join my patreon let's start the lesson
first of all that's not just I'm drunk
or I'm not drunk no there are many
different places fun places that you can
be when you drink so let's talk about
the levels of being drunk when you
haven't drunk anything no alcohol has
touched these lips
this guy is sober pronunciation sober
it's got that nice schwa sound at the
end but remember in American English
American English is Rohtak so it
wouldn't be sober it would be sober er
they have that Rohtak R sound next we
have this girl she's had one or two
drinks and she's feeling good so how
does she feel
she's tipsy or she's buzzed notice these
are all adjectives so he is sober she is
tipsy or buzzed we can also say he feels
sober she feels tipsy or buzzed in real
life she might say something like what
no no this is just my second drink I'm a
little bit buzzed but I'm fine I'm not
going crazy tonight but of course then
we get a little bit more crazy now
you've had a few more drinks and you
have less control we say that you are
drunk drunk drunk drunk drunk is that
the right I'm a teacher and even I get
confused with these I hate them so much
but the pronunciation listen to it drunk
drunk in British English we also say
pissed now in American English pissed
means angry but British English pissed
no means you're drunk well I'm not drunk
you're drunk you're pissed mate look at
ya yeah
feel sad my ex is doing so I just posted
a picture of that on my Instagram
someone asked in the phonetics why isn't
it this instead of the way I wrote it
which is this now for me I think it's
weird when it's written like this
because we don't say drunk drunk no we
say it like drunk you definitely hear
the sound so for me yeah in your
dictionary it will say like this but for
me in my head the way I write it
phonetically is this because that's what
I hear
drunk but I'm kind of stupid phonetics
is not my strong point if you disagree
please write it in the comments let's
discuss it but then everyone has one
friend who doesn't know their limits and
they get like this maybe they're
sleeping in a club I won't lie I've done
this before it was kind of fun anyway
we call this level of drunk we might say
that this guy is wasted of course dead
that's a good one and also hammered be
careful of the pronunciation there are
only two two syllables in this word
hammered hammered hammered
they are someone's gonna have to take
him home he's hammered so let me know in
the comments which of these people are
you going to be this weekend me what my
plans I think I might be tipsy this
weekend I mean I'm not gonna go crazy
but I'll definitely have one or two
another way we might say that is I've
got a buzz going I've got a bit of a
buzz going that's quite common - I think
that's it okay it's the next morning
your friend got wasted he was hammered
dead
how does he feel in the morning
you see your friend and your friend
looks really really bad you might say
this made you look a steak you look a
state now I used a glottal T here you
don't have to but I do stay state notice
that T stops in the throat state you
look a state mate and when you say this
you're saying you look really bad you
look like you feel bad now maybe it's
not alcohol that made him feel bad maybe
it's an illness so if someone looks bad
from illness from alcohol from anything
really then you might say you look a
state this is more a British expression
than American so keep that in mind so
how does he feel hmm he's ill because of
drinking we call that a hangover a
hangover that's a noun and we say that
you have a hangover or yeah I've got a
hangover I have a hangover both okay
don't shout at me I've got a hangover as
an adjective he could say this I'm
hungover
notice that the adjective hung over the
noun hangover I've got a hangover I'm
hungover again a very British thing that
he could say in this situation is this
mate I am hanging of course you know
that to hang could also mean relaxed
chill out with your friends but in this
context hang in usually pronounced
without the G and hang in it means you
feel very hungover this weekend if you
wake up hang in then stay in bed get
some McDonald's an energy drink or a
coke
that's my cure for a hangover just do
that stay in bed all day you'll be fine
now do you
this guy yeah you're in a pub or the
club with your friends and one friend
get so drunk falls asleep doesn't
remember anything about that night for
example last night he was dancing on a
pole super drunk super wasted taking his
clothes off going crazy but he doesn't
remember anything about this his memory
is gone and when this happens when you
lose your memory because of alcohol
because of drinking you get you get
blackout
you could also say you get blackout
drunk that word is an option it's not
necessary when was the last time that
you got blackout for me I was dressed as
Princess Peach in Japan the last thing I
remember I tried this ice cream and
vodka mix thing I don't remember how I
got home because I got blackout the next
piece of vocabulary that you deserve and
need is to double fist it's not what you
think so stop thinking that get that
thought out of your head it's not that -
double fist it's this when you give
someone a drink but they already have a
drink when now they have two drinks in
this case you might want to tell them
come on hurry up
oh come on hurry up your double fisting
drink drink literally in each fist you
have a drink you are double fisting this
is also called double parking so you
could also say hang on I'm double-parked
I need to finish one so if you are like
me and you drink very slowly often this
might happen you might get double park's
hole you might be double fisting yeah
notice one is in the passive this one is
not in the
massive good reason because if you use
this in the passive I'm being double
fisted then it means the other thing
don't say that or do if it's the right
situation either way have fun this
weekend
now some different expressions that you
might hear or want to use when you want
to go drinking let's start with her hmm
you want to go drinking but if you don't
want to say to your friends or your
parents that you're gonna get wasted
tonight mom dad you're gonna be so proud
I'm gonna get wasted tonight yeah no you
want to be subtle so you might say this
I'm just going out for one often we
might add this no I'm not going crazy
tonight I'm just going out for a quick
one gonna get an early night early start
tomorrow of course we know that's a lie
but that is what we say I'm just going
out for a quick one you don't need a
quick you could say I'm just going out
for one of course the plan is one drink
only but plans always change right so
you can say this also one of my favorite
activities on a Sunday no one has any
work to do you're just with your friends
in the Sun I mean not in England but
maybe you live in a nice country that
must be lovely for you so on a Sunday or
any day that you don't have to work in
your with your friends you're playing
games and you're drinking during the day
that is called today drink dude what are
you doing today the sun's out mate
nothing I've got no work to do today day
drinking definitely day drinking this
one it's not as fun but it's very
important so when you go drinking with
your friends you need to be responsible
one
person in the group must stay sober so
they can drive home this person who
stays sober to drive is called the
designated driver that's a noun
he is the designated driver for the
night often it's abbreviated to the DD
luckily for me I live in London don't
have a car so I'm never the designated
driver I win and finally you want to
celebrate a moment or congratulate
someone because they did something cool
to do this the verb is to make a toast
or you could just use the verb toast to
toast someone or something
a toast that's a noun to toast or to
make a toast they mean the same thing
those are the verb forms and of course
when we toast we say Cheers
so tell me in the comments if we had a
drink right now what should we toast to
what should we celebrate also use your
own examples using today's vocabulary in
the comments use it in your Instagram
stories if you do that tag me at Pappa
teach me on Instagram I'll repost the
best ones and I'll see you in the next
class
