Line 6: {{quote\|''"Milk... It's miiiilk... [[Lampshade Hanging\|Can you get tipsy from something like milk?!?]] [[Alcohol Hic\|Hic!]]"'' \|'''Gorman''', \|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]''}} Wallowing in misery at a bar isn't exclusive to realist and noir works, even the [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]] in a [[Sugar Bowl]] can [[Drowning My Sorrows\|drown his sorrows]]... Thing is though, he does it with milk, malts, root beer, soda or odder fare. [[Fridge Logic\|Despite]] the beverage being non-alcoholic and in fact being loaded with sugar and stimulants, [[Rule of Funny\|for some reason]] rather than make him hyper, the drink makes him act drunk and melancholy. In the case of aliens and other nonhumans, this could be the result of [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]. Line 61: == [[Literature]] == * ''[[The Further Adventures of Dr A.A.A. McGurk M.D.]]'' by Osmar White, opens with a depessed Dr McGurk drowing his sorrows in malted milk at the Explorer's Club. When he comes up with the idea of seeking the Pole of Impossibility (somewhere in the Antarctic) by camel, the other explorers comment "You've put too much malt in your milk." * In ''[[~~Discworld/~~Men ~~At Arms\|Men At~~at Arms]]'', the Watch all [[I Need a Freaking Drink\|Need A Freaking Drink]] after finding the first victim of the gonne. Three of the six have beer, Nobby has an [[Umbrella Drink]], Detritus has a molten sulpher (because the heat affects troll brains) ... and Carrot has a glass of milk. * ''[[Harry Potter]]:'' Winky the House Elf gets drunk on butterbeer, a non- (or very low-) alcoholic beverage usually drunk by underaged wizards without any intoxicating effect. * In ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', the Dothraki use fermented horse milk to get drunk. Line 133: In another episode, Bart and Milhouse buy a Squishy that is all syrup, and proceed to get "drunk" from the extreme sugar rush. Bart wakes up the next morning with a hangover, and discovers to his horror that he joined the Junior Campers (Boy Scout [[Expy\|expies]]) during their binge. His sister offers [[No Sympathy]]. {{quote\|'''Lisa:''' <tsk, tsk, tsk> The remorse of the sugar junkie.}} :* In the same episode, Milhouse (who also drank that same Squishy with Bart) woke up with a profanity tattooed on the back of his head. : Somehow, in another episode detailing the life of Lisa's Saxaphone Mentor, Bleeding Gums Murphy, we find that he spent all of his earnings from his one record on Fabergé Eggs, which is treated like an addiction to alcohol, complete with him telling the man at the store [[I'll Tell You When I've Had Enough!\|"I'll tell you when I've had enough!"]]. : When Homer and Barney join NASA, Barney excels while sober but becomes instantly drunk with a single glass of ''non''-alcoholic champagne. * They don't get visibly drunk from it, but when the [[Swat Kats]] throw themselves down on the sofa and pop open a couple of cans of condensed milk (being, after all, cats), the certainly treat it as if they are about to down a few brewskis. * On ''[[Home Movies]]'', Jason acts like an angry problem drinker when he binges on candy.
