When you drink so much alcohol you are past tipsy/drunk and you are between parraletic and serious alcohol poisoning!

The interval of time immediately before a project is due, when it becomes apparent that the schedule has slipped and everyone is going to have to work like dogs to try to complete the project in time. Crunch time usually occurs during the period between the next-to-last scheduled milestone (prior to which everyone was able to delude themselves tht the schedule had NOT slipped) and the final deadline for delivery. During crunch time, workers are in crunch mode. Prevalent in the software industry, but used elsewhere as well.
"We've got three weeks left to complete six weeks worth of work. Looks like we'll be living on take-out for a while."
"I freakin' hate crunch time."

limited time to complete work; meeting a deadline in limited time; a small amount of time to finish tasks.
The boss called a meeting to come up with an answer to our companies problem with the time crunch we experience every day approaching the end our shifts.
