In the Pirates of the Caribbean (2003-2017), Jack sparrow isn't always drunk, the reason he walks like this is he has sea legs. He walks weirdly on land but walks perfectly on ships.

Maybe for the first three, possibly the fourth one, this is a plausible explanation. But, if you're gonna sit here and tell me Johnny Depp wasn't fucking plastered throughout the filming of Dead Men Tell No Tales, you are a damn liar.

It makes much more sense that he ACTS drunk on land to maintain the trope of the fool. It’s essentially a stronger bargaining position, and social leverage. When people think they are dealing with a drunkard fool, they let their guard down.

It’s a character trait more than a physiological aspect.

And the sea legs give him slurred speech?
