Thank you all.

All I can say is, if this answer doesn't get closure soon, we will all be in need of a drink!!! : ))))

Oh, I don't think it's anything so formal and organized as having a "set plan" — it's just a load of drunk guys standing around taking the p*** out of the strangers around them.

But if they are all actually drunk, would they have the clarity of mind to make and keep a set plan of mocking sober people?

Anyway, nothing to lose sleep about. Whatever the asker decides. Either could be right and your idea has all the agrees. : )

OK, so now you have given us some vital extra context!

So if they are all drunk together, then yes, they are probably mocking other people (who may not be drunk) — that's the way round I read it.

I think they are mocking people who are drunk, as per my answer, but I got no agrees and 6 people agree with Paulo (that's including my one disagree).
If the majority rules, then you have your answer.

But they are drunk-mocking between themselves, I mean they choose random person in a bar or party and start guessing what he is doing in his life and what he is doing there.

In my view, they are (or pretend to be) drunk in order to get away with mocking people in a way they could not do if they were sober. People "forgive" them because they are (supposedly) drunk and don't know (or mean) what they are saying. Look how often people will say "Sorry for what I said last night — I was drunk!" But of course, sometimes the drink lowers their inhibitions (or they can pretend it has!) so they may say things that they are actually thinking, but wouldn't dare say. You know that old expression "in vino veritas"? Latin, loosely translated as "people tend to say what the really think when they're drunk". Of course, in the 'mocking' part, one might also read the idea that other people present might secretly agree with them!
Drunk man to lady: "You're far too fat to wear a short, tight skirt like that!"
Everyone else in room: [embarrassed realization that they were thinking the same]

They mock drunk people or they are drunk?
