Raise the flop because you can't raise if a [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] falls on the turn and you have multiple callers to the turn. You are also guaranteed that both players are calling a flop raise, but SB may not lead the turn again and BB may not call if he does. So you may not make up those lost bets.

Note here that your table description is that the players are drunk/terrible etc. Then your line is okay. In general though or "standard" as your subject asks, raising the flop is the play IMO.
