Sober as a judge

When you’re doing drugs or drinking but have to act sober.

I was on a date yesterday sober as a judge.

European sober

It's when you "don't drink too much" but you actually drink wine or beer on any day, any hour. You just built tolerance and think that doesn't count because you don't get drunk.

John: Clara says she wouldn't drink anymore after what happened at the party, why is she posting some wine glasses at 12am?
Mike: oh she's gone "European sober"

Berlin Sober

When you're avoiding alcohol completely, but continuing to take any and all other drugs.

Practiced by millenial party-goers desperately trying to get a handle on their rabid alcoholism, or more intuitively by zoomers who don't drink much anyway.

Actually pretty great.

"Klaus was doing dry January, but I think they've developed a ket addiction"

"Ah they must be going Berlin Sober"

Blackout Sober

When a person is always inebriated and, once sober, cannot recall any experiences that they have had; unless they are high/drunk in any way.

Danny knew he was screwed for his test, because all of finals week he had been smoking PCP while he studied, and now he was Blackout Sober and can't remember what to wright on the test.

sober diver

Some guy who takes advantage of a female friend by being the sober guy, who has been friend-zoned, that creeps at a bar, club, or after party, until the female is intoxicated enough to feel comfortable to agree to leave with him.

That dude doesnt drink and always gets laid, yea, hes a sober diver.

Buffalo Sober

When you quit hard drugs and weed , but still maintain a constant buzz from booze.

Trevor: I'll forever be California Sober, can't stop puffin doinks

Sean: I'm more of a Buffalo Sober, constantly having 15 beers throughout the day to keep my buzz up
