When Konstantin Stanislavski came up with "the method," a system used to train actors to experiencing the emotions of their character -- we're not sure if that also included downing multiple tequila shots.

That's what Rick & Morty's Justin Roiland did when he had to voice the "high-functioning alcoholic" version of Rick, on the encouragement of the show's creator Dan Harmon.

"I understand things got a little...creative," Harmon said in a video, posted to Adult Swim's Facebook page. Yeah, that's one way to put it.

Drink responsibly, kids.
