Rejections always sting, but this one took a bite out of me. Self-pity made me quit once; I won't allow it this time.

Hello, everyone! Long time no see!
I come to you with a question. What´s the right way to write dialogue for a drunken character?
I think its a bit like writing a character with a thick accent. Write the words you really need to have come across, be clear in the script that this person is hammered and then let the actor work
I'd focus on the emotions and state of mind of the character outside the drunkenness first. Is it awkward, loud and not caring, confused, arrogant, someone could be pushy, talking quiet/mumbling without really knowing, etc, etc.
This is all incredibly helpful, thank you guys!

My only problem with rejection is NOT KNOWING why it was rejected. I don't expect to please all the people all of the time, but if I know more about what they expected, perhaps that would help me. Know what I mean?
