North Dakota’s Top 20 Sayings That Are Code For “I’m Drunk”

North Dakotans like to have an adult beverage every now and then.

There's nothing wrong with that.  However, we all know when you get behind the wheel after you have been drinking or binge drinking can lead to problems that can change your life forever.  Not to mention, destroy somebody else's life and family.

Just don't do it. Never drink and drive.  With so many options these days like Uber and Lyft, there's no excuse to not have a designated driver.

Okay, I will get off my soapbox, but I don't want anybody to think the following is intended to glamorize or promote heavy or binge drinking.

I had a conversation on air recently asking my listeners what is code in North Dakota for being drunk.

I never realized how many actual sayings there actually are.  After taking hundreds of calls, a plethora of messages on our app and Facebook page, I decided to tabulate the results and share them with you.  Believe me, this was no small lift.

It's a good thing my college-aged son is good in math because I needed his assistance with this project.

Again, many of these you have probably been saying for most of your life, some of these you may have forgotten about, and a few of these sayings you may never heard of.

My final disclaimer.  I'm not trying to promote drinking or a binge-drinking lifestyle.  Please use alcohol in moderation.

So, without further ado, these are North Dakota's Top 20 sayings code for "I'm drunk".
