== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* 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.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* [[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.
Line 37:
* Both ''[[The Hangover]]'' and ''[[The Hangover]]: Part II'' obviously.
== [[Literature]] ==
* 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]].
Line 52:
* Somewhere in the region of every third death on ''[[1000 Ways to Die]]'' begins with the corpse-in-progress drinking.
== [[Music]] ==
* [[The Dead Kennedys]]: "Too Drunk to Fuck"
* In some versions of the story about the sinking of Ys from [[Celtic Mythology]] and French folklore, the Princess Dahut gets drunk and opens the dike gate that protects the city from flooding at high tide during a storm.▼
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* In [[Bloom County]], Steve Dallas has a tendency to exhibit this after imbibing too much.
== [[Oral Tradition]], [[Folklore]], Myths and Legends ==
▲* In some versions of the story about the sinking of Ys from [[Celtic Mythology]] and French folklore, the Princess Dahut gets drunk and opens the dike gate that protects the city from flooding at high tide during a storm.

Line 65:
== [[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]].
== [[Web Original]] ==
Line 87:
* Everything that comes after someone saying, "Hold my beer and watch this."
* Drunk driving. Dangerous, stupid, and illegal.
* Many of the [[Wacky Fratboy Hijinks]] alluded to on ''[[Texts From Last Night]]'' apparently involved alcohol, drugs, or both. Some, however, were just perfectly sober people making poor decisions.
