Can he? Sure, why not? Anyone can fight while drunk regardless of the style they've learned. Will a person who knows a drunken style fight *well* while drunk? I really doubt it. As mentioned, you shouldn't underestimate anyone, but a drunk fighter should be less of a problem than a sober one.
As noted, being drunk tends to make you lose your balance, coordination, and reflexes (as in they get slower). Fighting by imitating a drunk is not the same as fighting while drunk, like LanceWildcat1 and Robbo said. If you're drunk, I doubt you're going to fight well no matter what style you've learned. The alcohol has too many negative effects that will impair your fighting ability. About the only exposure to drunken boxing I have is from watching a video clip of a form on the web. But it was certainly interesting to see. I doubt that someone who is drunk would have the coordination, balance, and reflexes to be able to perform some of those moves at all, let alone properly. So I don't think a drunken style fighter who is fighting while drunk is necessarily any more of a threat than any other martial artists fighting while drunk.
