I had the good fortune of running into a Sifu that taught drunken boxing at a tournament I attended a few years ago. His school and ours were staying at the same hotel and after a few beers we started trading some information. I have used drunken boxing techniques in sparring matches and it is very effective at closing the distance and attacking by misdirection. As a buddy put it, "I can see when you start using that drinken stuff and know what's coming, but its so deceptive I can't stop it." Unfortunately, most people I see performing drunken boxing do it as a cool form, but lack the fighting knowledge. You can spot those people by how often they leave thier gaurd open
