I was wondering if a person could be hypnotized to act drunk? That is, can a person totally lose all his inhibitions while in hypnosis (similar to being drunk)?

Yes (video example of Derren Brown making a man drunk) with caveats:
- Not for every person being drunk means loosing his inhibitions
- You can't force people to do something they don't want to do (example by Anthony Galie)

$\begingroup$ @AliceD very. But in fact he already demonstrated, more than once that it is possible to make people do something against their "will" so to speak - by convincing them they were in fact doing something else. $\endgroup$ – Marc.2377 May 19 '18 at 10:46

$\begingroup$ @Marc.2377 - Derren Brown is a stage hypnotist. Everything he does is staged. As you pointed out, you cannot force somebody to do something against their will. $\endgroup$ – Chris Rogers Mar 21 '19 at 22:27

$\begingroup$ @Marc.2377 Links to state you cannot be forced to do something against your will 1. Psychology Today 2. Australian Government. If you think it's ok in the first place you can be made to do it under hypnosis. If you don't want to, you can't. $\endgroup$ – Chris Rogers Mar 22 '19 at 8:45
