I have taught martial arts (Tae Kwon Do, Doro Jitsu, and Kyusho Jitsu) for around 8 years, and have studied martial arts for over fifteen. Twice in that time I have had the opportunity and pleasure of watching this style as it was being preformed. From what I could tell, Drunken Boxing relies mainly on balance and fluid motion to achieve it's usefullness.
As Bruce Lee taught, reaction to any action must be equal, so as one is punched and reels backwards from the blow, it would be common to expect the practitioner to kick (top moves back, bottom moves fowards) so that his body is in constant balance.
