pregamed
Warmed up drinking
Pregamed is the past tense of pregame, meaning to drink alcohol before attending a main event—typically a party, concert, or night out at bars.
The practice saves money on expensive venue drinks and builds social momentum: We pregamed at her apartment before hitting the clubs.
The word comes from pre-event drinking before sports games.
