Ever been in that situation where people try when drunk, to use words that they struggle with? i.e.
Things that are difficult to say when drunk:
Innovative.
Preliminary.
Proliferation.
Cinnamon.
Things that are very difficult to say when drunk:
Specificity.
Anti-Constitutionalistically.
Passive-Aggressive disorder.
Transubstantiate.

From my own personal experience, I have found that the word officer can all too easily be mispronounced as "ociffer."

In my experience, some of the hardest words to say when drunk are "No thank you, I think I've had enough". Some people also seem to stuggle with "Actually, I've only known you for five minutes, you're ugly and you smell; let's not have sex!"

Transubstantiate.I think I would be challenged to say some of these words even when I am sober.

I once tried to say this to an officer of the law while drunk, “Good evening sheriff. It sure is a nice night. Isn’t it? My – my, you’re looking sharp in your uniform tonight. Is there some sort of a problem?”
But it came out something like this, “mussa-frussa.”
I know that’s how it came out because it was all captured on the dash-cam.
Also, it would seem, saying your ABCs while wasted is problematic.

Firetruck...
And teaching your two year old to say 'firetruck' is also somewhat problematic...

'I think you're a really cool person', always seems to come out the wrong way...
Other than that, anything with 'th's and 'sh's.

I have difficulty with the word hospital when I am intoxicated, for some reason i cannot end it, I go hospital-pital-pital-pital a few times before I start to fade myself out.

Anything in the English language really!
Some days my English is great and other days I can hardly speak my own language, let alone a second one...and that's when I'm sober :D Generally my English has taken a turn for the worse since I have been working in a predominantly Afrikaans office...

I am wondering how Scheherazade would sound when said drunk...
Of course we won't ask anyone to spell Shechaezaedre while they are drunk....

Apparently people cannot say "cyclists" or "pedestrians" while they are drunk either.
:p
