用法筆記

This is very informal slang, most common in spoken English among young people and in casual online communication. It is not appropriate for formal writing, professional conversations, or polite social settings. The phrase 'get ripped' in this sense usually refers to drinking alcohol at a party rather than drug use, though it can cover both.

常見錯誤

❌He was ripped after one glass of wine.
✅He was tipsy after one glass of wine.
💡'Ripped' means extremely drunk, not slightly affected. Use 'tipsy,' 'buzzed,' or 'light-headed' for a small amount of alcohol.
