Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Difference between revisions

*:* In an example involving Barney, the "Mr. Plow" episode features a flashback scene where we see a teenage Barney studying for the SAT when Homer sneaks in with a six pack of beer. After Homer pressures him, Barney reluctantly agrees to take a drink and, with one sip, we actually see his IQ drop sharply.

*:* Parodied in an episode where Bart and Milhouse go on a squishee bender. The next day, Bart discovers he's joined Junior Campers, and Milhouse has a dirty word shaved into the back of his head.

*:* In "Deep Space Homer", Barney, when selected by NASA to be an astronaut, swears off alcohol and successfully completes his training program with flying colors. Unfortunately, when he takes a sip of a congratulatory glass of champagne, his face immediately reverts back into its permanently soused expression as he proclaims, "It begins." He then steals a jet pack and careens drunkenly through the sky until it runs out of fuel causing him to crash onto a pillow factory roof and bounce onto the street below where he's run over by a marshmallow truck. The fact that it was non-alcoholic champagne [[Your Mind Makes It Real|says something about Barney's alcoholism.]]
