Since a lot of people don't remember / haven't played the game, here are the details that can help you:
- You can determine drunken state using the game's front-end API. They call debuffs/buffs 'auras' and you can match it against a specific set of drunken aura ids.
- The game will randomly add Hs and iirc the word "hic" to a sentence in order to emulate drunkenness.
Personally, I like the checksum solution the best -- don't even try to be smart, just validate the integrity of the message. This also solves issues where your message gets truncated, or other problems arise. They also likely had to break up their messages across multiple chat messages (there's chat limit) so a checksum goes a long way here.
