Line 140: == Live-Action TV == * Garibaldi from ''[[Babylon 5]]'': For most of the series, he avoids alcohol, except for a couple of occasions where he is either [[Drowning My Sorrows\|drowning his sorrows]] or falling [[Off the Wagon]] due to intense job stress. Overall, through the course of five years, we only see it happen twice (albeit one occasion had it happen for half of season five, but some say that season [[Fanon Discontinuity\|never happened anyways]]. * ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)\|Battlestar Galactica]]'': Both Saul Tigh and his wife Ellen, especially in proximity to one another {{spoiler\|though his biggest bout of drinking was on ''Galactica'' after he was forced to kill her on New Caprica}}. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace is also referred to as a {(very high-functioning) alcoholic both by other characters (there are repeated references to "not needing another Tigh onboard") and by the actress portraying her (Katee Sackhoff is quoted saying that Starbuck "drinks most of her calories"). * Dylan McKay in the original ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]''. * In ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'' [[Girl Next Door\|Penny]] is pretty well stated as having a difficult relationship with alcohol, binge drinking whenever sad or upset. When [[Nice Guy\|Leonard]]'s mom, a cold psychiatrist, first came to visit she quickly psychoanalyzed Penny's insecurities and all the childhood issues Leonard had came to the forefront. Needless to say when Leonard was considering "turning to alcoholism as a career path" he visited Penny, who was all ready for downing shots. In the first half of season five it's implied Penny was depressed over her... [[All Love Is Unrequited\|complicated]]... relationship [[UST\|with Leonard]] and thus showed her to be drinking more often. Line 216: == Professional Wrestling == * Scott Hall in [[WCW]] and later [[World Wrestling Entertainment\|WWE]]. That his real-life drinking problem was played for laughs left a bad taste in many viewers' mouths. * [[Andre the Giant]] was notorious for his ability to drink somewhere in the region of 7,000 calories of booze each day. Thing is, being a giant, it took INSANE amounts of booze to get him drunk—for example, 1,428 oz (that's 119 12-oz bottles) of beer to make him pass out. * [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]].
