Of course, this is often also a case of [[Truth in Television]].

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* Even though Dr. Hell from ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' tends a enjoy [[A Glass of Chianti]] now and then, he gets tipsy easily. In the last episodes of one of the manga continuities, he barely could stand upright after one glass. On the other hand, his minions (Baron Ashura, Count Brocken, Viscount Pygman) show a bigger tolerance to alcohol.

* In an appearance by the [[Great Lakes Avengers]] (they were calling themselves the Great Lakes Initiative at the time), all the superheroes in the [[Marvel Universe]] have been inebriated by a Dionysus powered ray; Mr. Immortal, however, is the only person to succumb to ''alcohol poisoning''. Needless to say, he got better.

 

* Jonathan Crane (a.k.a. [[Batman|Scarecrow]]) in Lauralot's fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4679528/1/Act_Like_We_Are_Fools Act Like We Are Fools]''. He gets falling-down, spill-all-your-secrets drunk after one glass of whiskey. Mostly because of an adverse interaction between his antipsychotics and the alcohol, but still.

 

 

* The page quote comes from ''[[Back to The Future]] Part III''. Turns out that Doc Brown really can't hold his liquor—he passes out after drinking a single shot of whiskey. And before passing out from drinking said glass of whiskey, he manages to get plastered just by ''holding it under his nose''.

* Kim Basinger's character in ''[[Blind Date]]'' had an allergy to alcohol that made her as drunk as if she'd had two six packs in mere minutes. She ate two chocolates that had alcohol injected and was literally swinging off the chandelier.
