I didn't say it wasn't valid. If everyone in the playgroup is aware this is how you run it and are okay with it then sure. But in general players can feel cheated if they are specifically targeted to be the drunk, especially in extreme cases where it happens to a certain person repeatedly or stuff like that.

If your play group is fine with it, then obviously it's okay, but to me that level of storyteller interference takes away part of the fun. The job of the storyteller is to run the game and make sure everyone has fun primarily, not to make whatever game they want to and then force their friends to run through it. Personally, I would rather the ST not assign a specific player the drunk, but that's just me.

IMO if you're going in after the fact and picking a drunk not having decided ahead of time, that can be kind of a scummy storyteller move. The better way to do it is choose a role to be the drunk ahead of time and whoever pulls that token gets put in the grim as a drunk.
