You seem to call anything that doesn't conform to your idea of what kungfu looks like wushu.I saw Northern version, but it was wushu and it looked made up.

About the original topic, I'm pretty much just going to repeat what's been said by everyone else I don't think there are any pure traditional drunken boxing schools in existence(at least here in North America). If there are, they don't seem to want anyone to know they're there. I read about a drunken boxing school here in the US, but he created the system himself.
No, Brad. I've seen some crazy styles, but they are traditional. I'm just tried of guys trying to pawn wushu off as kung fu. The only Northern Style of 8 drunkard I've seen looks just like wushu drunkard, but each immortal was added.
I do northern. Do it all look the same? No.

Traditionally, there is no such thing as Drunken Style. There are Drunken sets/forms within several styles (Lama P'ai, White Crane, Choy Li Fut, Praying Mantis, Monkey) but not as a separate system.
There are now, systems claiming to be a drunken style, but if you do the research, you will find that somewhere, down the road, someone took some "artistic licence."
