I Need a Freaking Drink: Difference between revisions

 

* [http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/9227 This] ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' fic features ''Carth'' of all people saying something to this effect.

* Said by George (without the “freaking” part) in ''[[With Strings Attached]]'' after John reveals his wings to him. The four then proceed to a bar and get trashed (except for John, who can't any more).

* One ''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic'' fanfic, "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", gave this reaction to ''[[Shrinking Violet|Fluttershy]]'' of all ponies on a disastrous [[Not a Date|not-date]] with Twilight Sparkle. After one setback, Rarity gives her a glass of wine to help get her confidence up. Following a particularly stressful incident, Fluttershy ''drains'' most of the wine bottle and has to be magically sobered up before she's able to stand, let alone go back into the restaurant.

** This also happens to Crowley in the backstory:

{{quote|Crowley got a commendation for the Spanish Inquisition. He ''had'' been in Spain then, mainly hanging around cantinas in the nicer parts, and hadn’t even known about it until the commendation arrived. He’d gone to have a look, and come back and got drunk for a week.}}

** More fitting this trope is of course Hagrid's reaction to only narrowly escaping the most powerful dark wizard of all times: "Haven't go' any brandy, have yeh, Molly?" asked Hagrid a little shakily, "Fer medicinal purposes?"

* Happens a lot in the ''[[Garrett P.I.]]'' series, as befits a homage to hardboiled detective fiction. Even the Grand Inquisitor demanded brandy in a jar when he stopped by to complain about his ecclesiastical colleagues. Upon his return from one emotionally-wracking case, Garrett's associates practically ''forced'' a mug into the main character's hand, anticipating that this trope was in effect.

* Dr. Shelton says [http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319&view=findpost&p=9228842 something like this] when he starts hearing a voice in his head.

* Said by [[I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream|a Great Soft Jelly Thing]] in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e4vBiN4kts this] [[Youtube Poop]].

* [[Warning! Readers' Advisory|Derek the Bard]] often finds himself in need of one, and often reaches for a crystal skull full of vodka.

* In ''[[Pay Me Bug]]'', Grif Vindh says this over, and over, and over.

{{quote|'''[[Dastardly Whiplash|Dan Backslide]]''': "Confound those Dover Boys! Oh, how I hate them! I hate Tom! I hate Dick! And I hate Larry! They drive me to ''drink''!" (''Blurs'' running over to the bar to pound down drinks at ludicrous speed, with the bartender taking a single drink in the middle. ''Blurs'' back to original position)<br />

"Confound them! ''([[Alcohol Hic|HIC!]])''" }}

* Implied in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|of all places]]. In the first episode, main character Twilight Sparkle pours herself a glass of what looks like booze while [[Genki Girl|Pinkie Pie]] [[Motor Mouth|talks her ear off]]. It's actually hot sauce, [[Fire-Breathing Diner|much to Twilight's dismay]]. The scene has become a minor [[Memetic Mutation|meme]] in the fandom in conjunction with the quote from ''[[The Dover Boys]]'' seen above.

** Rarity takes a turn in "Sweet and Elite"; during an upper-crust garden party that her friends have just gatecrashed, she drains a glass of (what appears to be) punch in one shot.
