Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 喝茫; on the Mainland it is 喝醉 - both point at “(slang) to get drunk”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 喝茫、喝醉 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
