This may sound like an obvious comment but what you see in a computer game (or TV/films for that matter) is not a accurate representation of what a martial art really looks like. For a style like Drunken fist, I'm sure there are people that can pull it off and fight with it in the world, but you have to question its practicality.
In the Dead or Alive games, there is one character that does Jeet Kune Do (I can't remember his name - its been a while since I played it). The JKD you see in that game is nothing like how a JKD student trains (for those that don't know, the JKD character in the game imitates a theatrical Bruce Lee)!! Real life grapplers/wrestlers don't pick people up and throw then 20 feet in the air!
I'm sure a lot us wish we can kick ass and look good in the process!
Anyway, if you really are interested in learning drunken style kung fu, then your best bet is to take up kung fu/wushu. At least that will allow you to appreciate all the different kung fu styles out there. There are a lot of "exotic arts" outs there. I bet the majority of the non-martial artist public know what kickboxing is, but not Kali or Pentjak Silat!
