Line 119:
* The reason Ron is the town drunk in ''[[The Warrior's Way]]''.
* The protagonist of British [[World War Two]] movie ''[[Ice Cold in Alex]]'' starts out the film drinking heavily as a result of the stress he's been put under during the campaign in Africa, and the plot is driven by his yearning for a cold beer 300 miles away.
* ''[[The Untouchables]]'' has two ironic examples, seeing as it centers around Prohibition:
** During the whiskey raid at the Canadian border, Oscar Wallace sneaks a mouthful from a shot-up barrel once the gunfire has stopped.
** In the final scene, with Al Capone finally behind bars, Eliot Ness is understandably exhausted as he packs up his office and thinks about Malone. When a reporter mentions that Prohibition is due to be repealed and asks Ness what he might do then. Ness responds, "I think I’ll have a drink."
