gets drunk

Has too many

Gets drunk means to become intoxicated from alcohol.

The phrase emphasizes the process of reaching that state rather than being in it: He gets drunk every Friday night, She rarely gets drunk on wine.

Someone who gets drunk may do so habitually or on a particular occasion.
