Though [[DontExplainTheJoke explanations are rarely given]], it's probably because the drinker is getting a "placebo drunkenness", or their sadness really is so great that that they could probably get the same results from drinking water. This has been repeatedly proven in RealLife, in fact it's a relatively common psychological experiment, which would seem to suggest that drunkenness is at least partially mental. Speaking of a placebo effect, if a non-drinker is told he's drinking beer when it's non-alcoholic in an effort to avoid having him hurt himself, he may get drunk anyway.

Wallowing in misery at a bar isn't exclusive to realist and noir works, even the WideEyedIdealist in a SugarBowl can [[DrowningMySorrows drown his sorrows]]...

[[FridgeLogic Despite]] the beverage being non-alcoholic and in fact being loaded with sugar and stimulants, [[RuleOfFunny for some reason]] rather than make him hyper, the drink makes him act drunk and melancholy.
