> お酒直飲みしたくて いつもそんなに呷ってさ...
>
> 俺に怒らせて...

Found it in a tweet towards a guy drinking. Does "いつも" describe "そんなに呷ってさ"? or
"お酒直飲みしたくて"?

Is it something along the lines of

> You want to drink so much that you gulp down (your drink) like that every
> time.

Or is it connected to the 2nd line, like this.

> You want to drink so much and every time you drink like that it makes me
> mad.

Not sure if my question is clear but thanks.

question
translation
What does "いつも" describe here?
Your translation is close, but even though it is in the same sentence as
`お酒直飲みしたくて`, it is actually an idea that might be best translated into its own
thought (though still part of the same sentence using a conjunction). Let's
start with how these are connected:

> お酒直飲み **したくて**...  
>  S/he only wants to drink alcohol directly from the bottle, and...

(The subject of the sentence could be anything, and 'you' could work just as
well. Without context I'm shooting in the dark, so I'm choosing the shortest
option for translation.)

The part I have in bold is the key to this conjunction. I don't know if in
your studies you have learned much about translating English conjunctions, but
this is one of the Japanese equivalents. Simply turn the last word in the
sentence to the base-て form. For the most part, I would treat it as an 'and'
in translation, but there are exceptions.

So now that we've gone through the first phrase of this conjoined sentence,
let's look at the second phrase:

> ... **いつも** そんなに呷ってさ…  
>  ... they **always** gulp it down like that.

いつも is translated to
['always'](https://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%84%E3%81%A4%E3%82%82) in this
sentence, which is pretty much the main translation. You could also say 'every
time', but I think it's a matter of personal preference in translation. I
don't think it changes much.

そんなに in this case translates to ['like
that'](https://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%9D%E3%82%93%E3%81%AA%E3%81%AB).

呷って as you have aptly translated means ['gulp
down'](https://jisho.org/search/%E5%91%B7%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6).

さ is a sentence ending particle that is similar to よ in meaning, but it tends
to be overused like the word 'like' in English. As such, it really doesn't
carry much meaning in the sentence except to add some emphasis to the phrase.
[Here's a good
source](http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/sentence_ending#_and_sentence-
ending_particles) about さ and other sentence ending particles.

Notice that the verb in the second phrase also ends in the base-て form: 呷って.
This is, once again, a transition into one more idea. In translation, because
of the ellipsis (...) at the end, I would translate it as a long pause without
completing the sentence. In all, the first line as the following:

> S/he only wants to drink alcohol directly from the bottle, and they always
> gulp it down like that...

This last phrase is where @chocolate is right to question whether the speaker
is native, as the causative form of 怒る is used incorrectly. The speaker should
have used を instead of に. According to [this source](https://www.wasabi-
jpn.com/japanese-grammar/japanese-causative-form/), using に with an
intransitive verb (to get angry) is more like saying 'let __ get angry.' That
doesn't fit quite right. Using を in this case is like saying 'make __ get
angry,' which is more along the lines of what we are looking for.

So finally, the corrected phrase and its translation:

> 俺 **を** 怒らせて…  
>  it makes me angry...

Once again the て form... The speaker is leaving the sentence open as if they
want to say more, but I doubt that they actually will. In Japanese, a lot of
the time, if you leave sentences open, what is left unsaid can carry just as
much (if not more) meaning than what is said.
