I prefer regular actualy, but I don't think he can beat suiken..
Well, actually, he could.
Reg. Lee has primary/secondary lotus on his side, Suiken Lee is too drunk to remember to use them.
Also, Suiken Lee can run out o energy, and once that happens, he's out of luck.
So ha. XDI don't really think normal Lee could beat drunk Lee. So drunk Lee forgets the lotus attacks. That's good! Just about every time he uses them, he ends up losing (either that or the battle gets interrupted by somebody).
Lee vs. Sasuke: Lee's obviously got the upper hand throughout the fight, but never really won since the battle was interrupted by Guy and Ninkame when he started using the Lotus. In the long run, he didn't defeat, but rather helped Sasuke by showing him the move.
Lee vs. the Otonin: First he says he has to take the three out one at a time, but he immediately uses the Lotus, a self-sacrificing move, on the first one. So even if the move had taken out Dosu, he still would have been much too weak to take on both Kin and Zaku. A valiant effort, Lee, but next time be a little more prudent in choosing attacks.
sweatdrop Lee vs. Gaara: We knew from Kankuro, that Gaara's sand armor was a more of a liability than an advantage in battle. Had Lee continued to use speedy attacks, Gaara would eventually run out of chakra. Instead, he used the Lotus, which again didn't work. After that, he was pretty much forced to use the Reverse Lotus, but that left him too weak to escape Gaara's attack and he almost completely lost his ability to fight at all.
Lee vs. Kimimaro: He was winning until Kimimaro activated his curse mark and Lee sobered up. He probably would have lost anyway (since Kimimaro was so bad-@$$ and even Gaara had a hard time with him), but it wasn't until Lee decided to use the Lotus, that he was really knocked down for the count.
All in all, Lee would be much better off without the Lotus and the Eight Gates. I also don't see how drunk Lee tiring out is any reason why Normal Lee could beat him, since Normal Lee is just as susceptible to fatigue (even more so if he uses a Lotus move).
However, I do agree that Suiken is not a Kekkei Genkai. Lee's ability to fight while asleep was attributed to "muscle memory", meaning that his endless training had so accustomed his body to fighting, that he could fight subconsciously. Alcohol not only puts him in a state of semi/unconsciousness, it also makes his movements erratic and unpredictable, as well as making him much more aggressive.
So he doesn't possess any special genetic trait. He's just what we've known him to be: a hard worker and a total lightweight.
