History Main / DrunkenBoxing

** Lei Wulong, the Jackie Chan {{Homage}} character from the ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' games, has Drunken style as one of his stances.

* Played straight by [[BadassNormal Rock Lee]] in ''Manga/{{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 has 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 ''Anime/NarutoShippudenTheMovie'', his sensei gives him a liquor bonbon and instructions only to take it in direst need.)

* Bo Rai Cho in the ''MortalKombat'' series has drunken boxing as one of his fighting styles, and carries a flask. His name is a pun on the Spanish word "borracho", meaning "drunkard". In fact, he is canonically the inventor of the style within the universe of the game.

** Some SuperSentai heroes also use this in probably one episode. Examples include Remi Hoshikawa/[=FiveYellow=] from ''Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman'', Koume "Umeko" Kodou/[=DekaPink=] in ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'', and Retsu Fukami/[=GekiBlue=] in ''Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger''

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

* Master Roshi uses Drunken Boxing in the original ''Manga/DragonBall''. The broadcast dub [[{{Bowdlerise}} changed this to]] "Mad Cow" style with the addition of cow-head clipart to the scene, but the DVD version left it unchanged.

* [[PandaingToTheAudience Panda Style, the Kung Fu style invented and used by Po]] in the ''Franchise/KungFuPanda'' franchise shares many similarities with Drunken Kung Fu, namely that it relies less on avoiding damage as much as it does recieving it and using the momentum and, well, body-fat. It's also highly irregular and mobile, compared to other styles.

* ''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.

** Something similar also shows up in ''{{Kinnikuman}}'' where it turns out King Muscle and Kid Muscle have developed an elaborate sleep-fighting technique due to sleeping in the same bed. (Uh...)

* If you haven't guessed by now, JackieChan is a [[OldMaster Master]] of Drunken Boxing. He incorporates it into his movie choreography, giving us his entertaining performances.

* In the doujin fighter game ''EternalFighterZero'', Nayuki Minase parodies this with her "sleepy boxing" technique, which looks just like drunken boxing, except she's asleep. In this case, alcohol is replaced with strawberry jam.

** Lei Wulong, the Jackie Chan {{Homage}} character from the ''{{Tekken}}'' games, has Drunken style as one of his stances.

* Shun Di, a regular of the ''VirtuaFighter'' series since the second game, uses Drunken Boxing as his fighting style of choice. Some of his more damaging and advanced moves require Shun Di to have a certain number of drinks in him to perform.

* Chuu from ''YuYuHakusho'' even incorporates alcohol into his KiAttacks, making them more powerful.

* ''{{Everway}}'' supplement ''Spherewalker Sourcebook''. The combat system called The Entangling Art involves the user appearing clumsy, staggering out of the way of blows, accidentally tripping enemies and clumsily dashing weapons out of their hands. It can be used to break arms, knock down stout warriors, and even kill opponents.
* One Terrestrial Martial Art in ''TabletopGames/{{Exalted}}'' is called Orgiastic Fugitive Style. Basically Drunken Boxing mixed with copious amounts of narcotics and marathon sex.

* Parodied in ''[[RanmaOneHalf Ranma 1/2]]''. After Kuno has forced a whole bottle of sake down female-Ranma's throat, she begins to sway and dodge in unpredictable patterns. A teacher (whom Kuno shortly intimidates into silence) complains about underage drinking, but Genma tries to explain that it's really a form of Drunken Fist, especially when she kicks Kuno out cold... and she passes out right there, tanked out of her skull.

* In ''Film/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. However, more frequently they use [[TheWrestlerInAllOfUs wrestling moves]].

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 lie flat on your back and stand up without using anything but your toes and ankles.
