* In ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]'', a nameless [[Posthumous Character]] was taught the flute version of the [[Brown Note|Sonata of Darkness]] and was instructed to never play it. One time, he and his friend Melody got drunk. Melody's friend played it. Melody's appearance changed, and at least one of the limbs she now keeps covered was vaguely depicted and Kurapika sure as hell flinched when he saw it. Melody gained the ability super-hearing. The person that played the music's body was as warped and mangled as Melody's limb. Needless to say, the person that played it died.▼

* [[The Alcoholic|Captain Haddock]] of ''[[Tintin]]'' practically lives by this trope. Highlights include: knocking out an airplane pilot mid-flight for not letting him use the controls, lighting a bonfire in a ''lifeboat'' and exiting a space rocket to try to float back to earth.
* Yeagar from ''[[Nodwick]]'' isn't the cleverest person even when sober, but some of his best (read:most disastrous) ideas usually come to him when drunk.

* In [[Gene Stratton Porter]]'s ''[[Freckles]]'', Freckles is certain that Wessner will not have the courage to return, unless he's half-drunk.
* Used a lot in ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Wooster]]''. Apparently, [[Captain Obvious|it's a bad idea to try to steal a policeman's helmet when there's a policeman inside it]].
▲== [[Live Action Television]] ==
* [[Auf Wiedersehen, Pet]] has the wake up with an [[Embarrassing Tattoo]] version.
* Lampshaded on the [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]] episode 'Beer Bad' with its [[Devolution Device]] plot that turns the college kids and Buffy into [[All Cavemen Were Neanderthals|neanderthals]].

* Somewhere in the region of every third death on ''[[1000 Ways to Die]]'' begins with the corpse-in-progress drinking.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* One quest in ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]'' seems to be a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[The Hangover]]''. A guy in Riften's tavern challenges you to a drinking contest. After four drinks, you pass out ... and wake up in the Temple of Dibella in Markarth, which is literally on the other side of the province. You then spend the next little while learning what you did last night due to [[Alcohol Induced Stupidity]], and trying to fix things. {{spoiler|In the end it turns out you were the victim of an elaborate prank by Sanguine, the Daedric Prince of Debauchery.}}
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In ''[[Wizard School]]'', drunken [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]] Graham gets a tattoo to 'seal the deal' with an attractive a woman—and promptly [https://web.archive.org/web/20130601183026/http://www.meetmyminion.com/?p=1147 wakes up in a room with two children and a talking goat] who inform him that he's [[The Chosen One]].
