P.G. Wodehouse succeeded with this.  I don't think you can do better than Wodehouse as a model.

Here's a thought: Think of how an artist starts with an outline of a house, and then conveys to the viewer that the wall is made of brick.  He can do this by drawing approximately four bricks (in a cluster) somewhere on that wall.

Suggest the drunkenness with a small number of examples.  I vaguely recall SH being substituted for S.  I think you can also occasionally replace a word with one that has one or more garbled syllables, perhaps similar to what a toddler or a pre-schooler might do, for example, *psghetti*.
