The drunchies
blending Noun

Etymology : "Drunk", a form of "drink", from Middle English "drinken" (to drink), from Old English "drincan" (to swallow), from Proto-Germanic "drinkanan" (to drink), from Proto-Indo-European "dhrengh-" (to draw into one's mouth, sip, gulp), nasalised variant of "dhregh-" (to draw, glide). "Munchies", from the word "munch", from late 14th century "mocchen", from Latin "manducare" (to chew). "Munchies" was first noted in 1971, the snack of the same name in 1959.
