* ''[[Discworld]]'': A variant turns up in ''[[
* ''[[X Wing Series|Iron Fist]]'': The more common unrealistic treatment is averted in the ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]'' novel. At the beginning of the novel, agents of a rogue warlord stage a fight in order to get the Wraiths out in the open. To start it, a real bottle is used to hit one of the pilots over the head, and it does not break. (The victim survives without permanent injury, but [[Tap on the Head]] is averted; he spends about a week and a half on medical leave with concussion.) Later, when the Wraiths are using that trick on another world, one of them uses a stage-glass bottle against one of their own, which does break.
* ''[[Callahan's Crosstime Saloon]]'': Mike Callahan has been known to throw a beer bottle at customers from time to time. Luckily, [[Subverted Trope|it's made of foam rubber]].
