Despite all the ways your character’s emotions and health can be impacted in The Sims 4, they can’t technically get drunk. However, that doesn’t mean you should send them over to the fridge for dozens of drinks each day.

If your Sim drinks too much, they’ll need to go to the bathroom more frequently. And if they really overdo it, they’ll receive a moodlet that shows they’re feeling sick.

There’s no reference to Sims getting “drunk” in The Sims 4, so the negative moodlet and constant trips to the bathroom are about as close as you’ll get to being tipsy in your virtual world.

If you want a more in-depth drinking experience, you can check out mods that introduce various drugs and alcohol to the base game. Keep in mind that these are unofficial and not endorsed by EA – so be sure you check the description for each mod before installing it.

Beyond that, there’s no way to get drunk in The Sims 4. The closest you’ll get is a sick character, which only occurs after having way too many drinks.
