*Get a Buzz On
Definition: drink alcohol until slightly and pleasantly drunk,
Example: Let’s stop at the bar and get a buzz on before the basketball game.
Note: This slang expression is North American. You can also say “buzzed,” meaning slightly dunk.
==================================
Do you use this slang a lot?
"get a buzz" originally seems to mean "an excited state", doesn't it?
Buzz has long been used for the effects of intoxicants and drugs. You could ask someone who has consumed or taken something if they are getting a buzz, meaning feeling the effect.
Can you say "get a sugar buzz" as well as an alternative to "sugar high"?

I've never actually heard anyone say that, but it is instantly intelligible, so I think it is a reasonable extension of the usage, especially in reference to children when they get rowdy.
Speaking of which, I'm off to spend Christmas day with my two daughters and four grandchildren. Pandemonium is likely to ensue. A Merry Christmas to all who celebrate the holiday.
