Okay, so this is supposed to be a comedic drunk, not a real drunk. Rent the movie Arthur with Dudley Moore, he plays an excellent comedic drunk. Steal a few bits from him - go on, we all do. Play it over the top, at least until your director tells you to cut back.

slur your words. a lot.

Get drunk before prefoming

Yep. Act like you are dizzy and finding it hard to keep your balance and use marbles in your mouth when you talk. Then you'll have it. That's what drunk people look like and sound like. Also act like your hands have a hard time reacting to what the brain is telling them to do.

slur your words alot, and sway a little. if your in a scene where you have your cup of alcohol drink in while others are talking. you could also pretend to burp/hiccup a little.

totally relax yourself and have as much fun with it as you possibly can. YEa, slur your words a lot. And stumble around kind of. Hiccup.. yup =)You know Jack Sparrow?? Yea, take a few lessons from him. =)

pretending to be drunk seems tough but atleast quite easy though, when performing, u think of it as if u reli got drunk so badly that u tend to be so dizzy, eyes closed and winky, criss crossing walk, act like u reli into it, wish u luck buddy.

be like hi gorge and woble and in a really high voice ohhhh like anna nicole smith no offence to her hope this helps

Believe it or not, the best way to act drunk is to try to act as sober as possible. I know it's counter-intuitive, but give it a try.
