Let's be honest: Haven't we all at one point drunk texted a reporter an invitation to discuss plans for an upcoming military attack? Something tells me Hegseth will be hitting the sauce pretty hard tonight.

Non-native speaker here.

Is "hitting the sauce" an euphemism like "slightly intoxicated"? Or more precise the process getting from sober to "totally pissed"?

You know, they don't teach real English at school. :-)

@PiiiepsBrummm @briankrebs Hitting the sauce is a euphemism for drinking heavily, as in binge drinking or just drinking to full intoxication. There doesn't have to be any other context.
It really just means "he/she drank a lot"

@mikey @PiiiepsBrummm Sorry. Yes, it means to basically get shitfaced as quickly as possible.
