But Liquor Is Quicker: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* In ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'', Eva's unflattering flashbacks of Roberto heavily imply that the only reason she had slept with him was thorough inebriation. Whether he supplied the alcohol is, however, unclear.

== [[Film]] ==

* The ending of ''[[Superbad]]'' is all about this; it's a high school senior party where everyone is wasted. Discussed by several characters, most of whom believe that taking advantage of someone drunk is ok as long as you get drunk yourself.

* ''[[The 40-Year-Old Virgin]]'': Andy's friends try invoking this in order to get him laid. The [[The Ladette|drunken bachelorette]] he goes home with {{spoiler|crashes her car and [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot|pukes on him]].}} Great idea, guys.

* Subverted in ''[[50 First Dates]]'': one of the male lead's seduction techniques involves plying his dates with non-alcoholic beverages but telling them they're alcoholic for [[Fake High|a placebo effect]]. This lets the women lower their inhibitions without reducing cognitive function, so nobody has to feel guilty.

* In ''[[Community]]'', the ill-advised decision is made to serve alcohol at an STD fair offering free condoms, leading to the expected consequence of a lot of horny, drunk young people planning on having sex with each other and with plenty of contraceptives available {{spoiler|which, unfortunately, turn out to be faulty}}. Dean Pelton is apparently unaware that alcohol can remove inhibitions: "It makes me sleepy!"

* In ''[[Glee]]'', Quinn gives her reason for sleeping with Puck as "[he] got me drunk on wine coolers and I felt fat that day." Getting her drunk in order to have sex with her was definitely Puck's intention.

* On ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'', Joy (six months pregnant, with no idea who the father is {{spoiler|It's Earl}}) is out with her friends at a bar, worried about how she's going to survive without a man since her parents kicked her out of the house. Joy then notices Earl, and [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|knowing that he probably won't go for a pregnant lady on his own]], she conspires with her friends to get him wasted, which they do. Then they introduce Earl to Joy. [[What Did I Do Last Night?|The next morning]], Earl wakes up in a hotel room in [[Viva Las Vegas|Las Vegas]], completely naked, with Joy...and a new wedding ring.

** Also subverted in the episode where Earl and some friends form a garage band and try to have sex with some groupies after the show. The woman Earl was trying to score with was passed out from the alcohol, so Earl didn't bother with her. He ''did'' however, sleep with his bandmate's mother ("She wasn't young, but she was conscious.")

* ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' often portrays drunken hook-ups. In particular, in "Shelter Island" Barney sets out to get Robin drunk at Ted's wedding so that she'll sleep with him again. When he finds out the wedding only serves non-alcoholic beverages, he freaks out.

{{quote|'''Barney:''' "Berry Blaster Brain Revitalizer"? My God, some of these drinks can make a girl ''smarter''. [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|What sort of hell has Ted brought us to?]]}}

 

== [[Music]] ==

* May have caused a [[Broken Base]] for ''[[Sailor Sun]]'' when the much-debated origin of the gender-bent heroine's [[Kid From the Future]] was finally revealed as "Got drunk, woke up pregnant".

* June pretty much uses this method to take advantage of Pembroke in ''[[Femmegasm]]''

* This ''[[Cyanide & Happiness]]'' comic [http://explosm.net/comics/4917/], in which a waiter tries to help a client get laid.

* ''[[Dilbert]]'' once had a vendor who [//dilbert.com/strip/2001-05-21 invited] Alice for drinks. To call about his product.
