In the anime Relife ep1, I met this line "酔ってた勢いでだ".

I don't know what is で here. Is it an abbreviation, dialect, or particle? Or
this is a casual speech that is ungrammatical?

If it is a particle, can I do that with を,に,へ too? I know that です can be put
after almost everything to make it polite, but not sure about だ.

Thanks.

question
particles particle-で copula
Particles can be put before copula だ?
Yes, they can. It is reasonable to think that the sentence is a cleft sentence
without the subject part.

  * [I don't understand what のも means in 生まれたのも育ったのも京都なんですよ](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/19208/45489)

The basic pattern will be XのはYだ/です, where X is a sentence and Y is a phrase.
In your case, it should be something like

  * (私がそんなことを言ったのは)酔った勢いでだ.
  * It is by the 勢い of being drunk (that I said such a thing).

Note () part is just what I guessed, it should be replace as appropriate to
the context.

* * *

Similarly, other particle+だ are possible. A bit artificial example:

  * 彼はあなたに花を贈った He sent you flowers.
  * 彼が花を贈ったのはあなたにだ It was to you that he sent flowers

In case of を or へ, I suppose it is more common to drop the copula in the
sentence like the example:

  * 何を見てるんですか What are you watching?
  * 歩いている人をだ. (It's) Walking people (that I'm watching).

Here colloquially だ and even を would be dropped (=歩いている人).
