How it's used
Used primarily in social drinking settings to set a high-energy, indulgent tone for the night. It functions as a declaration of commitment to the party rather than a literal instruction to get intoxicated. It is most effective when used to encourage friends to stay longer at a bar or dinner gathering.
Examples
Don't be polite tonight, let's drink until we're all drunk!
Are you guys planning to drink until you pass out tonight?

Common phrases
let's definitely drink until we're drunk
Common mistake
Avoid using this in professional or formal settings, as it implies a lack of restraint and can sound irresponsible. It is strictly for close friends or informal social groups.
