If you can survive the first seven chapters of losers drinking, farting and bulls***ing, then you can get to the good parts. This is a crazy, over-the-top zombie story that even throws in a Chinese invasion. At one point, you wish all the main characters would get eaten by the zombies! It shifts, and you really get into the story! I already purchased the sequel!
My full Dead Drunk: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse. One Beer at a Time review can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.
I think you could call Drunk: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse... One Beer at a Time National Lampoon's Zombie Apocalypse or think of it as The Hangover with Zombies. Yes, this audiobook was that ridiculous, full of crude sophomoric humor, plus enough penis jokes to last me at least the rest of the year. I hate to admit it but I was laughing out loud at times and at others it made me cringe with the overly misogynistic vulgarity. The first half of the story is little more than following a group of juvenile thirty somethings (I think) as they do a typical bachelor bar hopping party. Now these are the people that are rarely mentioned in a zombie apocalypse stories and I think it's because there isn't much to the characters, their not the military types or survivalists or individuals with troubled pasts as the typical stars of this genre. There was very little actual zombie encounters, however there were plenty of other ways to be disturbing. If you are looking for something different yet entertaining in the increasingly overcrowded zombie genre, you will love it or hate it, but you will certainly remember, Johnson's undertaking.… (mehr)

Charlie Campbell and friends continue to try to escape the apocalypse and find a safe zone. Charlie is doomed from the start. Not only are his friends “losers” but they are the drunken, anti-heroic types as well. They encounter a mob of zombies at almost every turn, nuns at a nunnery, a semi-truck full of dildos and a wrestler. It is up to Charlie to keep everyone on track. Then there’s Left-Nut – a living man who is infected and while he craves the flesh, he satisfies his need with a beer – one long continuous one until someone he dislikes pops up or someone bleeds, then the beer is gone and he feeds. Charlie and friends encounter a used R.V. salesman who is just as slimy during the apocalypse as he was before; freaks from a tunnel have the group running scared and then there’s the abandoned little baby – when he cries the zombies come running. They pick up friends and allies along their journey but they lose some of them just as quickly. This group is mostly known as uneducated, unmotivated, two-fisted, beer drinking degenerates who are anything except heroic. Rambunctious and fun, their story of survival will have you rolling on the floor.
Then there is the group of women who were at a bachelorette party at the beginning of the apocalypse and their encounters with survivors while trying to find a safe spot to wait out the end of the world. They encounter their own special hell with the survivors they meet. Treating their experience as one long “slumber party” they encounter two undesirable men that should never have survived but who have the upper hand and feeling far more powerful than they should and a vicious serial killer. While the women have their moments, they are far smarter than they appear.
Both groups are trying to survive and during their struggles they encounter zombies as well as all kinds of friends, allies, and more. For these groups of survivors – thank goodness for beer, metal plates, beer, semi’s full of dildos and more beer!
This was a fun listen – the arguments the men had are reminiscent of the famous Cheech and Chong comedic exchanges.
The narrator, Neil Hellegers did an excellent job. He kept the voices straight and made them reflect the personalities of the characters. He kept the pace up and spoke clearly.
For Richard Johnson, the zombie apocalypse is not all serious flesh-eating zombies or stern faced military guys; no, he writes the unorthodox zombie meets Cheech and Chong like comedy with some sobering moments. His characters you either love or hate, but you can’t resist – you have to know what happens to each and every one of them! Johnson’s Dead Drunk II is well written and hugely hilarious, absurd, silly, antic-filled and side-splitting.
Need a break? Need something to take your mind off the world? This is it!
There were no issues with production.
