I know it's going to be decades before it ever happens but it would be interesting especially if he ended a winning titles.

Didn't Road Warrior Hawk do this at some point?

Well, that's done.
EDIT: Hawk and Hall both come to mind, but as far as "getting over" I'd say the answer would be "yes" with Stone Cold as proof.

I'm talking a Sandman esque slurring guy. Who wrestles like he's drunk.

How did I not think of Austin?
Hey, does Jake Roberts circa 1996 count?

Sandman was pretty damn over in WWE, and massively over in ECW. His entire gimmick was getting drunk and fighting.

There was a guy in Dragon Gate who'd stumble to the ring, lie down in the corner like he was dizzy, stuff like that....Kenichiro Arai. Dunno if he's still doing it.

Jeff Hardy got over. That's pretty close.

I don't think Austin was meant to be taken as an addict, since it didn't negatively impact his career, kayfabe-wise, while Hawk was absolutely meant to be an addict, and that failed miserably.
Sandman I guess is much closer to playing an actual drunkard, and that did get over, but it wasn't the only aspect of him people would pop for, so it's hard to say how much of that was related to the boozing gimmick.
Austin's spiel didn't go "Gunna drink one beer!" "WHAT" "Gunna drink two beers!" "WHAT" "Gunna miss a few recitals!" "WHAT" "Gunna alienate friends and family!" "WHAT" "Gunna forget what it means to live sober!" "WHAT" "Gunna get cirrhosis of the liver!" "WHAT"

I see some random dude wearing a bald cap (bonus if it's a minority guy in whiteface) and overly exaggerating Stone Cold's mannerisms.
