Discreet Drink Disposal: Difference between revisions

* This is standard operating procedure for dealing with [[Stalker with a Crush|Kodachi's home cooking]] in ''[[Ranma ½]]'', which typically includes stuff like paralysis powder, poison, or sleeping powder. Her brother, Tatewaki, even has a small dog he uses to test his meals for him. People would gladly do this with [[Lethal Chef|Akane's]] cooking too, if she weren't watching them like a hawk when getting them to taste her recipes.

 

* Considered a cliché in ''Rubrique-à-Brac'' by [[Gotlib]].

* In the ''[[Tintin]]'' album ''Flight 714'', Captain Haddock was presented with a weird-smelling soft drink that he poured over a plant. Said plant died within seconds.

* [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] tends to do this at social functions, as his [[Rich Idiot With No Day Job|public persona]] needs to be seen to be drinking and occasionally appear to get drunk, while his true persona is a teetotaler. When he needs to be seen drinking while at home, he tends to drink things like [[Frothy Mugs of Water|seltzer water in champagne glasses]].

** In ''[[The Dark Knight Returns]]'', a conversation with Jim Gordon reveals to the reader that Bruce started drinking for real after he hung up the cowl. When he returns to being Batman he picks up his old habits.
