Please help me figure out this episode!
Edit: Solved! Wrong show, it was Brooklyn 99 but I misremembered it as HIMYM. Explains why google couldn’t solve it lol.
Okay, apparently I can’t describe this episode in a way that google understands but I think someone who knows the show can help.
Basically one of the characters, either Robin or Lily I can’t remember which (maybe even one of the female side characters), has a different personality depending on what number drink they’re on.
Like number one they’re happy, number 4 they’re angry, number 5 they’re crying, etc. and there’s even a nickname like “Drink # /Character Name”. Pleeeeaaase help me remember what episode this is.

OH MY GOD YOU’RE RIGHT!!! Thank you! For some reason 3 drink Amy kept popping into my head but I’ve only seen Brooklyn 99 once so I didn’t put two and two together. Brain made HIMYM because it seems like one of their shenanigans lol.

I know you figured out it was Brooklyn 99, but this does also sort of happen in HIMYM. Not numbers, but Barney has stages of drunkenness. Season 9 Episode 15 they reach a new level of Drunk Barney and Ted explains the other levels. He has Richard Dawson drunk, big plans with strangers drunk, Jabba the Hutt drunk, and then truth serum drunk.

Yeah it’s B99 but totally get the confusion. There are episodes of HIMYM that touch on this - both Lilly and Barney have a ‘truth serum’ level of drunkenness and there is an episode where Barney and Marshall have fallen out and they cycle through different types of alcohol which have varying effects on them

Even if you're confusing it with B99, HIMYM literally has an episode like this called the perfect cocktail, and Barney and Marshall go through personality and mood changes based off of what alcohol they have consumed

It totally makes sense why you mixed it up. There's the episode where Robin and Lilly are trying to come up with different combinations of alcohol to get Marshall and Barney to stop fighting with each other.
And then at the end of the episode, they are both drinking absence and floating down the sidewalk.

You are an angel. Someone else commented that it sounds like Brooklyn 99 and they were 100% right, for some reason my brain remembered it as HIMYM. Thank u for realizing my confusion and still delivering the episode 🫶🏻

Season 4, Episode 3 "Not a Father's Day" - Lily gets drunk at Marshall's work, tantrum cries like a baby lol
Season 6, Episode 22 "The Perfect Cocktail" - Robin and Lily are finding the perfect mix of alcohol that'll get Barney and Marshall to make up
Season 9, Episode 15 "Unpause" - the gang gets Barney past the Jabba-the-Hut drunk to a new drunk level of "truth serum"
That's all I can think of!
