* In ''[[Veronica Mars]]'', Veronica walks into a poker game, picks up a half-empty bottle that the clearly inebriated Duncan has been drinking from all night, and drains it in a single gulp. It was iced tea, and he was faking drunkenness as part of his poker strategy.
* In an episode of ''[[Get Smart (TV)|Get Smart]]'', Max has to pretend to be an alcoholic. He is issued a pill to keep under his tongue that absorbs all the alcohol he drinks. As he puts it, "I'll look drunk, act drunk, even ''smell'' drunk, but I'll be stone sober!" Then he accidentally swallows the pill, causing all the alcohol it absorbed to be introduced into his system at once.
* In an episode of ''[[Blake's Seven (TV)|Blakes Seven]] '', Villa pretends to be drunk so he can make a suggestion on how to fix the current problem (atmosphere leaking out of a hole in the hull) in the form of a rambling remeniscence, but not be called on to undertake the repair himself (because you couldn't give such a dangerous task to someone who was obviously drunk).
* In an episode of ''[[The Man From UNCLE]]'', Ilya harasses a girl while pretending to be drunk so that Napoleon Solo can step in and rescue her.
* The killer in one episode of ''[[Monk]]'' picked a fight while pretending to be drunk so as to attract paparazzi attention, which would then give him an alibi for the murder he was going to commit.
* The Tenth Doctor in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "The Girl In The Fireplace".
