* In ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' all dwarves—even ''babies''—are alcoholics, and going a significant amount of time without alcohol will cause efficiency and happiness to plummet. |

* In ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'', Sims get a positive buff from drinking, and an extra one if the drink actually ''tastes'' good. Those with the "Drunkard" Flaw get a negative buff from ''not'' drinking, but don't get any more positive effects from drinking than those without the flaw. |

* ''[[Legend Of The Drunken Master]]'' portrayed Jackie Chan being a better fighter while drunk (with the reasoning of increased pain tolerance and improved flexibility. Also, real life [[Drunken Boxing]] is pure [[Confusion Fu]]: Jackie Chan's movie and video game series regarding being a [[Drunken Master]] thus assumes it's easier to execute it when actually drunk). He quits booze at one point in the plot, but in the final fight, he recovers from a hopeless fight by drinking pure grain alcohol. |

* For a possible real life example, look at Buckfast Tonic Wine. At 30 proof and containing more caffeine per volume than Red Bull, its considered by many to be the source of a great deal of Scotland's violent drinking woes, due to the obvious problems that come with drunken, violent disaffected youth hopped up on enough caffeine to kill a horse with a glass bottle literally on hand.

* Many long-term alcoholics work ''better'' after a smaller glass of booze—their body has become accustomed to alcohol and the lack of it brings very unpleasant things, even before true delirium tremens appears: shaking hands, fatigue, stumbling etc. |
