Na niekaip nesuprantu, ką šiame kontekste reiškia "consonants" :(
"Jerry, I say. You know you could do six months for this". Even sobered up he leans on his consonants like they were a bar table. It's something he's done more and more over the years; most people pressure him less than he acts drunk.
Dėkui

užgulti priebalsius/užsikvempti ant priebalsių
Netgi būdamas blaivas, kalbėdamas jis taip užgula priebalsius, lyg jie būtų baro stalas.
Aišku, 'lean on smth' nebūtinai reiškia 'užgulti/užsikvempti, tačiau šiuo atveju gal ir tinka. Juk čia grožinis tekstas, ar ne? O jei be pagražinimų, tai Gintauto atsakymas labai tikslus.

describes a manner of speech
He pushes his consonants out (of his mouth), or something like that. I doubt that there's any good way to translate that sentence, really...

remtis į priebalsius
Gal ir gražiau įmanoma sugalvoti.
Iš muzikos mokyklos laikų prisiminiau, kad galima "atsiremti" į svarbiausią frazės natą.
