I always feel like I'm failing at getting drunk enough.

I know! Because of a relatively busy schedule yesterday, I wasn't really home until 9.30pm (I'm in Europe), so it was actually difficult for me to get to a decent level of intoxication before I was so tired I just wanted to sleep and forget about it all.
But as I don't know if I'll be able to participate in the next edition, it had to be now I tried my hand at it.
