just put $ on Banker. You dont even need to know how to play. the dealer does all the work for you. you have no options.
Anything better?

While not the lowest EV, but I would definitely opt for Bubble Craps. Play "Pass/Odds", or "Don't Pass/Lay Odds". You get a seat, can continue to pound beers, and have a great time.

One normally sits at Baccarat and Mini-Bacc too. Banker and alcohol might mean you run out of funds without remembering all those commission lammers that are sitting in front of you.
I'd go for the bubble craps too... more comfortable seats!

$5 pass line and $5 odds. (or $ pass and same $ odds)
.84% HE
The Dealers will do all the work for you, pay you when you win, they will even help out to remind you of the extra dollar on the point 5 or 9 odds bet when you bet an odd amount.
With only about 30 resolved bets per hour your per hour ev will be much less than Bac Banker.
That translates into more free drinks and your Bankroll will last longer.
What more can you ask for when one is drunk!

Just remeber when to stop drinking. For me it was when I would go into the men's room to splash water on my face.
And my head would crack the mirror before I could splash the water. LOL

Even if nobody stops to talk, what drunk wouldn't want to yell at a mechanical horse?
And for a measly quarter? Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!

My suggestion is craps. Pass line + odds. Add come bets (+odds) if you wish.

Screaming at Sigma Derby might be the favorite thing I do everytime I go to Vegas. Keep those free drinks coming while I lose 1-2 dollars an hour.

if your intention is to get drunk real fast. video poker at the bar. tip up front so the bartender takes care of you. then play real slow. once youre drunk i suggest craps. normally id suggest just betting the dont pass and laying odds if youre going for just one point but since youre drunk its probably funner being part of the crowd. so bet the passline and take odds. also another reason while craps is good is because standing up is preferable to sitting down so you dont get tired.

Craps is the worst option for me because it is doubtful I could keep it to just pass line + odds. I know it wouldn't be the same for anyone, but BJ works for me. That is because there really is no thinking involved after playing basic strategy for so long. Second would be baccarat as you suggested.

Without evidence, I'm just going to state outright that the higher your BAC is the more likely you are to bet in the middle. I know this opens a can of worms (can be attributed to almost any game with side bets), but it's definitely something that cannot be overlooked.
Sigma Derby is probably the best if you're in Vegas. I'd have to second baccarat, but if you don't like the game then play craps with someone to slap you around if you throw money in the middle.

It helps if you don't understand how the middle works, and I've intentionally not tried to learn how payouts in the middle work.

craps is definitely the best of the mindless games. the only thing you have to do is put a bet down on pass (not don't pass because you might get beat up later) and stand around and order drinks and gulp them down. No thinking required. If the dealer gives you chips, pick them up. If the dealer takes your chip put another one on the line.
No need to follow the game. Instead follow the babes walking around the casino, chat with the cocktail waitresses, discuss business with the guy with the black and yellow chips next to you ($100 and $1000), and suck up to the guy with the $5,000 chips.
Ask the hotties where they're from. Pick up your wins, replace your losses. Rinse and repeat.
when the dice come to you... pass them... order more drinks.

If you're drinking heavily you want a game where you can sit
down. Standing at a craps table won't be fun. Find a quarter
slot and bet a quarter every time. You won't lose much, its
mindless, and the drinks will keep coming.

Craps has so many trap bets, it's fine for a drink or two, but when drunk, I wouldn't go for it. Mind you, I would generally avoid gambling at all when drunk (been there, done that, and glad I have friends who told me it's probably time to stop). It's cheaper to just pay for the drinks at a nice lounge.

Casion War at Wynn or Encore. it doesn't get much more mindless than that....and it is kinda fun sitting there - chatting up the dealer and your friends with free drinks.
No idea the expected loss. The casino gets the edge by how they deal with a tie. I can't remember how they do, but I would expect the odds aren't that bad.

For the boys and I it's definitely the video poker bars. One guy in our group always gets throttled down by the bartenders bc he goes thru the drinks so fast.
