* One of the passengers -a cook- in ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'' as the ship goes down does this as he and the protagonists hang on for dear life on the upturned bow of the ship. Considering his position, it'd probably be his last chance to do so. As it happens, this cook was a real man, Charles Joughin, who did survive the sinking, despite being in the freezing water for two hours or so. Some have suggested that the alcohol he drank kept him alive, but this claim is in doubt (given that one effect of alcohol consumption is an ''increased'' risk of hypothermia).

* ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'': Riff Raff pours a glass of champagne for Frank, takes a swig from the bottle, then casually drops the now-nearly-empty bottle. No-one else seems to notice or comment. (As he is the butler this also counts as DrinkingOnDuty.) Then again, while alcohol is the only substance Riff uses onscreen, judging by certain song lyrics it's the ''least'' of his addiction issues.
