Here's a translator who came up with a rather neat solution in the 2021 comedy Stuck Together (8 Rue de l'Humanité): - Bon, vous avez un peu levé le pied sur l’alcool quand même ? - Well, have you at least cut back on those drinks ? - Non, j’ai levé le coude. - No, I toss them back.

All welcome to our translation slam in Newcastle on 19 March!
