When you are in a state that is characterized by alcohol intoxication, "hitting the faucet" means to go to the nearest bathroom, turn the faucet on
high, put one'
s mouth directly underneath, and drink until one can't drink anymore. This action is performed in an effort to curb the side effects of a hangover. One engages in this act instead of drinking out of a cup because, simply, there is no cup big enough for the amount of
water one needs to drink when they're this
drunk.
