Police say the 30-year-old had nearly three times the legal blood alcohol limit when he wreaked havoc in his ute on Victoria Street at Potts Point at 3:50am (AEDT).
The Mona Vale man was arrested on the street and charged with negligent driving and drink-driving. His driver's licence was suspended on the spot.
Joanne Pridham works at a backpacker's hostel on the street and went to inspect the damage herself.
"I saw a backpackers' station wagon with a lot of their belongings on the street and it was pretty obliterated," she said.
"The back windows were out. The tyres were all flat. The bumpers were off. They're going to come out and see their car and they're not going to be amused.
"There are about three or four cars with their wing mirrors knocked off and damage to their tyres and bumpers."
The man will face Sydney's Central Local Court on November 5.
Police want owners of the cars to call Kings Cross Police on (02) 8356 0099 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
