Line 211:
=== [[Film]] ===
* In ''[[Rustlers' Rhapsody]]'', the hero, on realising he's in "One of those tough bars" orders a gin. With a human hair in it. Later, the Town Drunk, on getting a gin, complains "Where's my hair?"
** "It's in there."
* Inspector Tequila Yuen, the [[Cowboy Cop]] from the John Woo movie ''[[Hard Boiled]]'' and the game ''[[Stranglehold]]'' has his nickname because he prefers to drink Tequila Slammers, which are made by pouring equal parts tequila and soda into a shot glass, placing one's hand over the glass and then slamming it on top of the bar in order to mix it before drinking.
Line 308:
** Used for humor in the first film, when Marty gets George to man up and try asking Loraine to the dance, he goes up to the counter of the diner and orders milk. [[Punctuated Pounding|*slaps bar*]] [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|Chocolate!]] The glass slides in from off-screen, George takes a big sip, and heads off to talk to Loraine as Marty looks on, dubious.
* In the classic Western ''Shane'', a line is quickly drawn between the titular character and the drunken members of the Ryker gang when he walks into their bar and orders a soda-pop.
* ''[[Rustlers' Rhapsody]]''. When Rex O'Herlihan walks into a Western bar he first orders a glass of warm milk. When everyone in the bar in the bar stares at him he changes his order to a sarsaparilla. See the entry under "Strong Drinks" above for what happens next.
* Xander Cage in ''[[XXX|xXx]]'' orders club soda and cranberry juice. This could just be to contrast him against the James Bond-types who he's intended to be an inversion of, or because he's an extreme-sports fanatic and doesn't want his reflexes dulled while he's undercover.
* In [[The Great Muppet Caper]], Fozzie is messing with what appears to be a martini, or possibly champagne served in the wrong glass. He takes a sip, then turns around and informs the people behind him, "Hey, if you add enough sugar to this stuff it tastes just like ginger ale!" He gives the distinct impression that he finds this to be an improvement (possibly the fact that he was adding sugar to it was a pretty solid hint).
Line 463:
=== [[Literature]] ===
* [[Dracula]] [[I Do Not Drink... Wine|does not drink...]] ''[[I Do Not Drink... Wine|wine]]''.
** Neither do the Igors of Pratchett's Discworld... which is the cue to extract the ubiquitous canteen from its hiding place on your person and offer them a slug.
* [[X Wing Series|Rogue Squadron pilots]] in the comics have lum as their general drink of choice during off hours; the squadron during the books prefers lomiin-ale. In ''Isard's Revenge'' a pilot from the comics lineup temporarily returned to the squadron and was a little shocked when he was told that they'd never drink lum. Whether these are alcoholic or not depends on who you ask.
