betrinkt

Betrinkt is a German verb form derived from betrinken, meaning to intoxicate someone or, in reflexive use, to get oneself drunk. The prefix be- with trinken conveys a causative sense; when used reflexively, the verb denotes self-intoxication.

Betrinken is used transitively with a direct object, for example: Der Kellner betrinkt die Gäste, meaning the waiter intoxicates the guests. In reflexive use, sich betrinken expresses getting drunk oneself, as in Er betrinkt sich.

In the present tense, betrinkt appears as the third-person singular form er betrinkt. The full present-tense paradigm is: ich betrinke, du betrinkst, er betrinkt, wir betrinken, ihr betrinkt, sie betrinken.

Betrinkt is not a standalone noun; however, related adjective forms derive from the participle, such as betrunken, used to describe someone who is intoxicated (Er ist betrunken).
