No snark intended. Its not acceptable to drink oneself under the table except ( according to some opinions) on Purim when it is a mitzvah. There is no valid reason why a person should respond to a bad date with “oh let me get slammmed out of my mind. ” If indeed there is such a minhag growing I have not heard about it and pray that it is not true. However if people can get slammed on Shabbos on a regular basis forno good reason I guessthey can do so in middle of the week as well.
