* ''Series/{{Hightown}}'': This is a frequent occurrence for Jackie. She goes on on alcohol and/or drug binges which result in her waking up in strange beds with strange women and no recollection of what she did over the past couple days. It takes a really bad turn in season 3 when [[spoiler: Jackie discovers her one-night-stand's blood covered shirt in the back of her car that belongs to a woman she'd had sex with]], after being unable to remember where either her car or phone were at first.

* This trope is what kickstarted the legendary adventures of Fanfic/OldManHenderson, the man who '''won''' ''TabletopGame/TrailOfCthulhu''. While [[TheStoner stoned out of his mind]], he donated his entire prized collection of lawn gnomes to charity. After sobering up, he noticed the gnomes were gone but had no memory of what happened to them, so he assumed someone had broken into his house and stolen them. Realizing that only a large group could have pulled off such a heist, he deduced that those "Mormons" (read: cult of Hastur) who had recently set up shop down the street were the most likely suspects, and thus began his utterly batshit insane crusade against eldritch horrors and those who would worship them.

* ''WebAnimation/GridironHeights'': The "Super Bowl Hangover" episode has Matthew Stafford, Zac Taylor, and Joe Burrow waking up ''eight months'' after the Super Bowl completely befuddled as to what's happened in the meantime and how they've ended up with extremely questionable records. They end up having to look through the security footage to piece together how they ended in their particular predicament, Burrow is the only one with any semblance of his wits about him, and no one can find Allen Robinson (not helped by the fact that Stafford can't even remember what he looks like).

* ''Series/{{CSI}}'': A much less humorous variation occurs in an episode that focuses on a teenage boy who died during a drug trip. His friend desperately wants to remember what happened that night to catch his killer. [[spoiler: The friend experienced extreme sensitivity to sounds during his trip and strangled the victim to quiet him]].
* And ''Series/CSIMiami'' also did it when two guys are found in a fountain with drugs in their systems and no memory of the previous night. It seems their bachelor party got wildly out of hand with the groom having to bail one guy (a normally straight-laced church guy) out of jail when he broke up a party thrown by a rich developer. It also leads to a wild search for the missing groom.
* A similar case on ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' involving booze [[spoiler:spiked with LSD]] finally resulted in the newly 21-year-old suspect being tasered by a cop after running through the streets with a bloody ax.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' fic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/18530914?view_full_work=true Astral Hangover]]'' starts with [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Noctis]] waking up in the back seat of [[CoolCar the Regalia]] with [[WhiteMage Y'jhimei]] (the [[CatGirl Miqo'te]] from the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV XIV]]/XV crossover event), naked.

* The opening few episodes of ''Series/{{Castle}}'' Season 7 are a doozy of an example. On the way to his wedding, Castle get run off the road by a black SUV. He gets dragged from his burning car, then a few hours later he pays for the car to be crushed. He then disappears entirely, only to resurface two months later in a small dinghy (with gunshot holes in it) off the coast of Delaware. During those missing months he contracted dengue fever (which is only found in the tropics), got shot and recovered, and spent some time in Montreal for God alone knows what reason. Then he asked for his memories to be erased, and gave the people who did it a TrustPassword so that they could prove he asked to lose all the memories. What the ''hell'' was he up to during those months?
