Drunken Fist is a taijutsu style that works only in a state of strong alcohol intoxication or is possible in an unconscious state (in the anime). Due to intoxication, the user's movements become jerky and unpredictable: he attacks without any warning and defends with completely unconventional movements. The user himself does not realize what action he will take in the next moment, so the opponent cannot predict his attacks. Rock Lee, usually polite and reserved, becomes extremely belligerent when drunk, which confuses enemies even more. According to Might Guy, the Drunken Fist cannot be learned, cannot be taught, and cannot be improved through training.
Rock Lee is a born master of this style. He only needs to drink a little alcohol for his cheeks to turn red, and he falls into a drunken rage, attacking both enemies and friends. Possessing a great natural talent for taijutsu, Lee becomes incredibly destructive when drunk. The first time he got drunk, he wrecked the restaurant where he was dining, and even Guy found it hard to calm him down. Lee sobers up as quickly as he gets drunk: when Kimimaro merely scratched his face, Lee almost immediately returned to normal. He does not remember his actions while drunk.
