-->'''Iron Fist''': ''(To Mr. X)'' "You may hear my thoughts, but my Drunken Style gives no warning."

* One Terrestrial Martial Art in ''TabletopGames/Exalted'' is called Orgiastic Fugitive Style. Basically Drunken Boxing mixed with copious amounts of narcotics and marathon sex.

* Chin Gentsai in the ''KingOfFighters'' series.

** Jackie Chan revisited this style in ''TheForbiddenKingdom'', where he played one of the Drunken Immortals.

* Master Roshi uses Drunken Boxing in the original ''DragonBall''. The [[{{Canada}} Blue Ocean]] dub "covered up" by characters calling the style "Mad Cow" and the addition of cow-head clipart to the scene. The [[EverythingIsBigInTexas Funimation]] dub called it for what it was.

* In ''JadeEmpire'', one of your party members has the ability to toss bottles of wine to you, allowing you to activate the Drunken Master fighting style.

* ''GodHand'', with its customizable combos has several DrunkenBoxing moves. You can make Gene a drunken boxer... however, the moves are relatively impractical.

* In ''HeroesOfNewerth'' there is a hero literally called the Drunken Master, who uses this technique while also being completely drunk, all the time. One of his abilities is called "Drink", which does ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.

-->'''Iron Fist''': ''(To Mr. X)'' You may hear my thoughts, but my Drunken Style gives no warning.

-->'''Iron Fist''' to Mr. X: You may hear my thoughts, but my Drunken Style gives no warning.

* Brad Wong from the ''Dead or Alive'' series of {{Fighting Game}}s. Incidentally, his only goal in the storyline seems to be a search for the ultimate beverage of legend.

Drunken Boxing, also known as Drunken Fist or Drunkard's Boxing, is a traditional Chinese martial art. It is a style of wushu that imitates a drunkard in its movements. The postures are created by momentum and weight of the body, and imitation is generally through staggering and a certain type of fluidity in the movements. Part of the idea here is to make one's movements unpredictable (because it doesn't look like any normal martial art). It is considered to be among the more difficult wushu styles to learn, due to the need for powerful joints and fingers. Think about the kind of strength you need to be able to lay flat on your back and stand up without using anything but your toes and ankles.

* Played straight by [[BadassNormal Rock Lee]] in ''{{Naruto}}''. Lee is actually a good enough fighter to begin with, but Kimimaro at the time of his fight with Lee, noted that Rock Lee a very direct, frontal attacking style of fighting, which could lead to predictability. With alcohol helping to keep his movements unpredictable combining with his freakish speed, Lee becomes a monster when using his Drunken fist.

* In VideoGame/TheMatrixPathOfNeo Neo can use DrunkenBoxing as part of the fights.

* The Pandaren Brewmaster of ''{{Warcraft}}'' 3 has this as an ability that gives them a random chance to dodge and do extra damage. They probably are drunk when they do it.
** Pandaren are coming in the ''WorldOfWarcraft'' expansion ''Mists Of Pandaria'', and bringing their brewmaster fighting style with them, they're tanks who rely on dodging and "stagger" (shrugging off instant damage in favor of taking it over time, probably because they're too drunk to feel it right away).

* Wong Fei Hong has displayed this type of kung fu in a good number of movies, especially the {{Film/Drunken Master}} series with Jackie Chan and the Last Hero In China series with Jet Li.

* In ''TheWorldsEnd'', the pubcrawlers, while not martial artists in any sense of the word, get progressively better at fighting their robotic foes the more they drink, even displaying a couple of recognizable moves from Drunken Master- this should be expected given that the stunt coordinator was Brad Allen, a member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team.

* One Terrestrial Martial Art in ''TabletopGames/Exalted'' is called Orgiastic Fugitive Style. Basically Drunken Boxing after copious amounts of narcotics and marathon sex.

* [[TinMan Glitch]] [[ReBoot !]] Drunken Master!

* PhantasyStarPortable 2 gives us the Ikku Hikku, a Photon Art for the knuckles weapon. At the end of the combo, the user reclines on the ground and takes a swig from a flask pulled out of HammerSpace.
* In HeroesOfNewerth there is a hero literally called the Drunken Master, who uses this technique while also being completely drunk, all the time. One of his abilities is called "Drink", which does ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* WWE Raw vs. Nitro has drunken boxing as a stance in character customization... however, there are no actual drunk boxing ''moves'' in the game, and the walk animation doesn't change... so in effect, it's possible to make a character that stumbles drunkenly while standing still... and that's about it.

'Drunken Boxing' techniques are based on the legend of 'The Eight Drunken Immortals'. Each of the techniques in the Drunken Set demonstrates an attribute of one of the Immortals. These "elements" from all eight Immortals' styles are combined to form a beautiful and effective fighting art.

It also provides an interesting-looking set of movements for a character, or makes him stand out amongst other more linear fighters.

* Kazu, the [=KirinRanger=] from ''GoseiSentaiDairanger'', used this as his fighting style. This may be one of the reasons 75% of the Dairanger footage was dropped when it came time to use it for ''MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' that year.
** Some SuperSentai heroes also use this in probably one episode. Examples include Remi Hoshikawa/[=FiveYellow=] from ''ChikyuuSentaiFiveman'', Koume "Umeko" Kodou/[=DekaPink=] in ''TokusouSentaiDekaranger'', and Retsu Fukami/[=GekiBlue=] in ''JukenSentaiGekiranger''

* Shun Di, a regular of the ''VirtuaFighter'' series since the second game, uses Drunken Boxing as his fighting style of choice.

* Chuu from ''YuYuHakusho.''

* Spike Spigel does occasionally something to this effect in ''CowboyBebop''. When advising another character on fighting, he stresses the important of being fluid, keeping the body lose and shifting positions and stances easily as the circumstances change, waiting for the best moments to strike.
