You may eventually find yourself in a situation where you have to act drunk, but don't want to get drunk. You could have a desire to fit in during a social gathering, be assigned a role in a performance, or just want to trick your friends. Read on if you're willing to change the way you look, speak, and act to convince everyone around you that you're actually drunk.
Steps
- Cognitive and problem-solving skills are reduced when there's alcohol in your system. Often, it will take drunk people longer to understand things.[8] Act like you don't understand simple things. You can accomplish this by asking repeated questions or repeating what a person is saying. When asked to do something, take twice as long as you'd usually take, and constantly ask the person for help.
- Changing the channel on the TV or a song on a mp3 player is a great opportunity to seem like you don't know what you're doing.
- When trying to change the channel you can say, "I don't get it. It keeps going to the menu. I don't know what I'm doing."
- Keep an inconsistent pace. Move erratically and go from energetic to drained in minutes.[9] The more inconsistent you are, the most natural you'll appear. Act randomly and surprise people. The more you change your mood, tone of voice, and volume, the drunker you'll look.

About This Article
If you’re trying to act drunk, mess up your hair and wear your clothes sloppily, since people who are drunk don’t pay much attention to how they look. Also, stumble around as if you’re slightly off balance, because motor control goes quickly when you’re drunk. Additionally, try to speak and act erratically. For example, talk really loudly at first and then whisper, or start to walk away and then sit down suddenly. You can also slur your words and ask the same question over and over again. You’ll seem drunk if it seems like you don’t understand what’s going on around you. To learn how to act like you’re somebody who’s drunk but trying to come off as sober, read on!
