Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "method to my madness" is strange or crazy actions that appear meaningless but in the end are done for a good reason.

It is used to describe someone who does things that seem strange or crazy, but who actually has a good reason for doing them. The idiom comes from the idea that even the craziest behavior can have a method or purpose behind it.

  • To get someone drunk: This is not the same as method to my madness.
