* In ''[[Friends]]'', although Rachel wasn't technically drunk, her grief over her father's ill health left her feeling vulnerable enough to try and get Ross to console her. However, in spite of their fairly lengthy history (and Ross' six-month dry spell), Ross declines, feeling that he shouldn't take advantage of her in her state of mind. However, in an unusual twist, she holds it against him.

* ''[[Cheers]]'' had an episode where a depressed Rebecca gets roaring, sloppy drunk and comes on hard to Sam; [[The Casanova|notorious horndog]] Sammy, who's been lusting after her since day one, responds in the negative, and gives two reasons: "One, you've been drinking, and a gentleman has his principles. Two, you look kinda disgusting right now."

* It's explained early on in ''[[Erfworld]]'' that lower-ranking units will do whatever their superiors tell them to do. It's also implied (and later stated) that while the beings of Erfworld don't reproduce sexually, they do have sexual relations. [[The Everyman|Parson]] puts two and two together, and realizes that as a high-ranking strategist he can have his pick of women, without them ever objecting or even ''conceiving'' of rejecting his affections--and immediately after thinking of this as "awesome," it hits him hard that this is essentially rape, and he reconsiders (he ''does'' spend a lot of time with female soldiers, but apparently he's trying to romance them).

** Maggie is actually surprised that he hasn't taken advantage. The reason he tells her is that the scale difference (they're all at most a quarter his size and half his height) squicks him out and brings up the issue of causing physical injury.
