Little tip for Lost Weekend Achievement
A easy way to make the achievement Lost Weekend (Killed 5 enemies while you are drunk) that I've found by myself is this: after you first time into Shantytown, head up to The Graveyard Shift, a small bar in the city, easy to find. Here take more beer and wisky that you can find, steal some stuff and fight the enemies into the bar. If you didn't kill all the enemies as drunk, just restart from last checkpont and do it again until you'll get the achievement.
I hope this guide help you for those 2 achievements!
