* ''Series/ForAllMankind''. After the [[AlternateHistory Soviets beat the US to the Moon]], the Apollo astronauts are ordered to go out and blow off some steam.

He gets in a lot of trouble when the comments appear in ''Newsweek'', and his wife angrily points out that the astronauts had a code where they don't discuss their feelings with anyone ''[[WhatTheHellHero including their own family]]'', whereas all it took in this case was a few beers.

* Orel's dad in ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' is an alcoholic who gets a whole drunken rant in the second season finale, Nature, which culminates in the line [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "Drunk... is... NATURE!"]] This is also described perfectly at the end of Part 2 of the finale, when Orel flat-out asks his mom [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim why she married his dad]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'': Every single of the band's mothers, but '''especially''' Toki's, who goes from an incredibly strait-laced religious person with a high amount of restraint to a total pervert when she gets drunk on alcohol.
** And let's not forget the band's manager/lawyer Charles Ofdensen, who is generally a soft-spoken, sort of uptight guy...until you pour enough alcohol into him. Then, he starts doing things like [[HoYay playing with Nathan Explosion's hair]].
* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', Trent suggests that he and Jane get through a family reunion by passing out drunk. Jane points out that not only is she underage, but Trent tends to get "honest" when he's drunk and it's probably not a good idea for them to tell their relatives what they really think of them.

* "Crumley Cogwheel" was a 1963 Paramount Modern Madcap about an office schlub who has spent 20 years with Michigan Nuts And Bolts and had never asked for a raise. His boss gives him a week to do so or else he will be fired. On the last day, Cogwheel is on his lunch break, and instead of going to his usual tea house, he goes into a bar. Only after he gets plastered does he summon up the courage to not only barge into his boss' office during a board meeting but also demand a raise. His boss is completely impressed and gives Cogwheel his raise--of one dollar. Stunned in utter disappointment, Cogwheel faints (Boss: "Poor guy...I guess the shock was too much for him").
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBeatles'' episode "I'm Down" has the boys helping an Italian wine-making family replenish their inventory. Wine is consumed, but nobody shows any sign of being drunk.
* The ''WesternAnimation/PrivateSnafu'' short "Spies," has this when he gets drunk and blabs the final pieces of his military secret to Axis spies.

Compare AlcoholInducedIdiocy (for when booze causes a character's IQ to drop precipitously), DrunkenMaster (for when booze acts as a SuperSerum), LiquidCourage (for when a character suddenly guzzles his bottle or glass dry and pulls off an [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome awesome moment]]... or just asks the girl out), MushroomSamba (for when things just get... weird instead), and ButLiquorIsQuicker. If the booze-provided honesty gives the character an introspective epiphany, it is HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs. Compare the implications of NeverGetsDrunk. Also, contrast BottledHeroicResolve, which overcomes ''physical'' limitations; because alcohol is a sedative, in RealLife it acts as anti-BottledHeroicResolve. Also, contrast PinkElephants, which may lead to the truth being ignored because the person was drunk.
