What language do you speak when you are drunk?
During my stay in Barcelona, I always spoke "Spanglish" when I was drunk

Specialy in Barcelona, my second home.
Have you tried "Leche de pantera"?
I strongly recommend it... you'll speak burp very fast!

Mumble Rumble with a Catalan twist.
Quite interesting, found out the hard way that people believed they understood what I was trying to say as I would always end up under either a hose, tap, shower or bucket.
Needless to say, they were wrong, it wasn't precisely cold water what I wanted...
Been a long time ago though... It's ginger beer times pour moi now (ie: Bundaberg, maaaate!!).
Salut!

It depends: French when drinking cognac, German, English or Dutch when drinking beer and Russian when drinking vodka etc. Definitely the best way to learn foreign languages! Or maybe just grunting instead of speaking

So, no difference with being not drunk, according to some faultfinders.
How odd, I didn't know I use to say everything twice!
By the way, Toledo is right, actually

when we're both drunk, then I think you'll be speaking double Dutch, and I'll be seeing double Dutch

I once did a folklore conference in Moldavia. The congress organizers had rented a castle and stocked its cellars up for two weeks (the congress was 7 days). I soon found out that folklore fieldworkers were some of the heaviest drinkers around -- when they gather data around the fireside, they drink everything they're offered by the tribesmen (and still take notes).
Well, after the second day, it became a real struggle to avoid socializing, or else you got into the booth with a hangover. On the fifth day, we ran out of beer (and they were serving it out of barrels). But you'd be surprised how everyone's English improved!

Definitely!
I would even say that when we are drunk, we share the same language.
