Line 10:
Contrast [[Drunk On Milk]]. For someone who Never Gets Drunk simply because they don't drink at all, see [[The Teetotaler]].
{{examples
=== Type 1 ===
Line 31:
* The American team in ''[[Beerfest]]'' spends a year training for an international drinking games competition. As a result they all develop such high alcohol tolerances that it's nearly impossible for them to get drunk on beer alone (one team member who is trying to get drunk ends up chugging a bottle of schnapps because beer just isn't potent enough).
* In the recent animated ''[[Wonder Woman (Film)|Wonder Woman]]'' film, Diana is shown to have a much higher tolerance for alcohol than her human companion, and scoffs at the idea of him trying to keep pace with her while drinking.
* In ''[[Captain America:

Line 70:

* 3b: Belldandy from ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]''. Alcohol might as well be water for all the effect it has on her. She will, however, get plastered... on ''soda.'' She's a Viking goddess - booze ''was'' basically water to them (safer than straight water), but they didn't have carbination on longships.
** Urd, meanwhile, seems able to get wasted on sake. Then again, she's only half-goddess.
* Apparently, [[Claymore|Claymores]] don't get drunk unless they want to, which results in Deneve and Clare being completely sober (despite Deneve drinking quite a bit more than should be possible), while Helen descends right into Happy Drunk land.
Line 89:
* [[Superman]] usually falls into type 3b, such as in ''[[Smallville]]''.
* Hercules from [[Marvel Comics]] once tried to get Galactus drunk by giving him the most potent alcoholic drink in all the universe. It didn't work.
* [[The Godsof Arr Kelaan]] have been type 3a's ever since their deification, to Ronson's (god of [[Irony|Alcohol]] and Apathy) [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|endless]] [[Drowning My Sorrows|dismay]]. Consuming the most [http://www.rmcomics.com/Mirror/Consequences/?viewDate=20090717 alcoholic drink on the planet] quickly enough will get him "slightly numb" for a few moments.
* The original [[Marvel Comics|Spider-Woman's]] powers gave her immunity to all poisons and toxins, which had the side effect of her never getting drunk.
* [[The Incredible Hulk]] is immune to alchohol.
Line 107:
* Cat from the ''[[Night Huntress]]'' series is a [[Dhampyr]], with inhumanly high alcohol tolerance. While she often [[I Need a Freaking Drink|needs a freaking drink]] to cope with trauma, the calming effect is psychological rather than physical. The only she's ever seen actually drunk is after drinking an entire bottle of [[Gargle Blaster|Bones's moonshine]], and even then she's walking upright when she should be dead several times over.
* Angels and demons (who are angels anyway, just on the other side) in ''[[Good Omens (Literature)|Good Omens]]'' can get drunk, but among their abilities is soberization--no matter how plastered they are, they can always just miracle it away when they need to.
* In [[H. Beam Piper]]'s ''Four Day Planet'', "Bish" Ware seems the opposite of this, as he's never seen completely sober -- but Bish is actually a type 3a and {{spoiler|one of [[The Federation]]'s best secret agents, [[Obfuscating Stupidity|posing as the town drunk]] while tracking down an interstellar criminal}}. His reflexes are shown to still be swift and precise.
* Dr Gideon Fell, from John Dickson Carr's novels, can put away enough booze to land any two normal men in the ER with alcohol poisoning without showing any sign. Probably a 3A from pure body mass (if there's an Obese Detective trope, he's one of the poster children).
* One [[Star Wars]] novel places Zeltrons as a 3A by reason of having fast metabolisms and two livers. Getting a Zeltron woman in it drunk requires something so [[Gargle Blaster|strong]] that it's said the mere smell has enough alcohol to knock out members of much larger, 'tougher' species.
Line 121:
** Claire had to fake being drunk in order to win a drinking contest. She made her biological father look like a supreme moron.
* A type three in the comedy series ''[[Two Pints of Lager and A Packet of Crisps]]'' where Gaz challenges a University Student he thinks is coming onto his girlfriend to a drinking contest. Only one slight problem, he forget the student in question was Australian.
* [[Doctor Who (TV)|Gallifreyans]] metabolize alcohol very quickly, so it is almost impossible for them to become drunk or suffer the effects of hallucinogens. Thus can easily drink 10 pints of beer without showing any ill effects. Some Gallifreyans can use special meditations to regulate their metabolism. This gives them a very fine control over the rate at which they metabolize alcohol, making inebriation or hallucinations possible. However, [[G
* ''[[Supernatural]]'': Castiel downs a half dozen shots in a row and calmly says "I think I'm starting to feel something." It's later discovered that he ''can'' get drunk, but it's when his angel-fu is largely drained away, and he needs to drink an entire liquor store to accomplish it.
