It's good for the 'fighting while intoxicated' part, but does not cover the 'moving in seemingly random ways that confuse the enemy' aspect of drunken fighting (which was, IIRC, one of the reasons for developing 'drunken' fighting in the first place, where realistic drunken fighting does not involve being drunk, only acting drunk).
