Have you seen the Jackie Chan movie Drunken Master? He gets better at fighting the more he drinks until he drinks too much and gets bad again. I thought I'd try to incorporate something like that into my tavern brawls.
When creating characters I had all my players roll an extra stat for alcohol tolerance. I'm still sorting the details but basically play will go like this:
Each round all players must drink (maybe in real life too)
each drink is worth a certain number of points (I might roll a d4 to decide simulating differing strength ales in each tavern) and each player adds that up as they go.
Each lot of 3 points adds an extra +1 to attack rolls until the combined score from drinks is greater than the characters alcohol tolerance stat at which point they keep their attack bonus but start getting a -2 to rolls against AC for each further 3 points of drinking. If they get to double their alcohol tolerance I'll say they pass out drunk.
To simplify the fight I'm stealing someones rules I saw on Reddit, all characters have an AC of 10 and use a d6 as attack dice with no modifiers. If the players are clever and pick up chairs etc to use as makeshift weapons or do something like swing from a chandelier I'll allow them to roll 2d6 or something, depending on how clever they are.
I thought it might be fun and lighthearted, I haven't tested it out yet though, and I am happy to receive constructive criticism or other ideas if you think it's broken
