Can't Hold His Liquor: Difference between revisions

Line 138:
* An [[New Game+|Avatar of Boris]] in ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'' cannot drink past five Drunkenness. Boris's alcohol tolerance was very low.
* [[Super Mario Bros]]:
** They don’t have this in the American version, but in ''[[Wario Land 2]] 2'', there’s a penguin-like enemy that throws beer in Wario’s face, which causes him to get plastered rather quickly. (Meaning Wario fits this Trope to a T, seeing as he’s a big guy, and beer is, at most, 5% alcohol.) Incidentally, the American version has the bird throw a bomb at him; clearly, the censors think bombs are okay, but drunkenness is not.
** Believe it or not, Princess Peach fits too, and wine is something you should keep away from her. (No, this is not from a fan art version.) In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', they give the winner a bottle of champagne; they don’t drink it in the American version, but they do in the original Japanese. Bowser even gulps the entire bottle, but seeing as he’s a huge turtle-monster, he doesn’t even get tipsy. Peach, on the other hand, if she’s the winner, does the same thing, and gets seriously soused. (Champagne is about 12% alcohol content, by the way; this scene comes as a shock to any American player.)
* You have to wonder why Tiki in ''[[Dragon's Crown]]'' even tries to drink, seeing as she’s a tiny little fairy; even one goblet of wine would likely make her pass out. And it does. Every time you go to see her in the tavern, she’s passed out in the half-empty goblet of the wine she tried to drink, drunk. What's worse, it's your drink; and she's not going to give it back. Fairies make for mean drunks it seams.
