* [[Star Trek|Spock]] himself is a mix of types 1 and 3 of this.
* [[Myth Busters|Jamie Hyneman]] is apparently a types 1 & 3 as well:
{{quote| '''Adam:''' So we've had 13 drinks over 3 hours. I know I'm drunk, but I can't even remotely tell that you're drunk. It's kind of annoying. I want to see you [[Lampshade -Wearing|put a lampshade on your head]] or something.<br />
'''Jamie:''' Sorry, bub! }}
** Jamie ''is'' drunk, medically speaking. His mannerisms just don't change...much. They do change a bit, though; in the Driving Blind myth, after having a few drinks, his first suggestion to the blind driver is "floor it!", and he doesn't guide the blind driver as well as he did when sober. To clarify: when Jamie was sober, the blind driver did okay; when Jamie (but ''not'' the driver) was drunk, the blind driver drove ''as if'' he was drunk.
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-Rated Drug|Ginger pop]] has a severely deleterious effect on any Gallifreyan metabolism.
* ''[[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.
{{quote| '''Dean:''' Where the hell have you been?<br />
