* Edison Lighthouse, one of the main characters in ''Webcomic/GroovyKinda'' is rarely without a drink in hand. She gets drunk every night and cheerfully confesses that she's never sober enough for a hangover. She does vow that, now she has a boyfriend, she'll stop getting drunk every night in bars and going home with strangers here: [[http://groovykinda.org/2013/03/20/vow-and-then/ Vow and Then]].
* Dr. Narbon (Senior) from ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' might qualify - you'd need a nuclear explosion to part her from her boxed wine. And even that might not work.
* Mother Greensworthington from ''Webcomic/SoreThumbs'' is a high-society twit who is never seen without a martini glass in hand.
* Mom Lalonde from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', as well as her post-[[CosmicRetcon Scratch]] counterpart [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl Roxy]].
%%* Martha (Miriam's mom) in ''Webcomic/OutThere''.



* Diva's mom in ''Webcomic/EvilDiva''. Though we never see her drunk, and it's played for laughs mostly.



* May from ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'' is what you get when you combine this trope with MadScientist. In fact, the reason the indestructible golems of the setting can get drunk is that she didn't want to have to lay off the drinks after she made herself into one. Currently she acts as like a slightly crazy aunt, with a margarita always in hand.

* A certain noblewoman in ''Literature/TheMalloreon'' by Creator/DavidEddings is described as a 'lush'. She lives in the deep country and has nothing else to do but drink. Beldin, an otherwise irascible person, treats her with uncharacteristic sympathy. The epilogue reveals that [[spoiler:Beldin talked Zakath into setting her up in the Mallorean capital... and ordering her jackass husband to stay the hell away on threat of his life. She's described as causing minor scandal, but being ''much'' happier.]]

* Joyce in ''Film/{{Dangerous}}''. A series of professional and personal disasters have convinced everyone, including Joyce herself, that she is a "jinx", ruining her career as a stage actress. In her first scene, she's drunk in a bar, ridiculing poor Don for being a fan of hers back in the day, slurring her way through ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' dialogue until she passes out. The next ''morning'', before breakfast, she's smashing open Don's locked liquor cabinet so she can get more alcohol.
