10 [[caption-width-right:350:Zoe welcoming the habby new beer with a [[NewYearsKiss kiss]]. [[AlcoholHic *Hic*]]]]
11Two characters kiss due to the influence of mind-altering AppliedPhlebotinum -- or just plain ol' mind-altering substances like alcohol -- to which one (or possibly both) of them have been exposed. The kiss may be directly caused by scientific or magical means, or be the eventual result from some kind of [[LovePotion love spell]]. In one-sided cases, even though the unaffected participant is hardly -- if ever -- the one who cast the spell, he or she doesn't object.
12
13This affliction usually strikes characters (a) who would never kiss when they're both sane, (b) whom fans have been dying to see kiss for many a season or both. The trope's potential lies in the fact that the couple's {{shipp|ing}}ers can {{Squee}}, and everyone else can brush it off with, "[[ItDoesntMeanAnything It wasn't real]]."
14
15See also IntoxicationEnsues and AlcoholInducedIdiocy. If it doesn't stop with just the kiss, it's AliensMadeThemDoIt. If one of them {{Defie|dTrope}}s this trope and refuses to take advantage, they're AboveTheInfluence.
16
17Not to be confused with ButLiquorIsQuicker or SlippingAMickey, which are done very deliberately to {{Invoke|dTrope}} this trope.

20!!Examples:
21
22[[foldercontrol]]
23
24[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
25* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': Kusuri attempts this twice in her introductory arc, but fails both times. The first time, she serves Rentarou tea spiked with a LovePotion to get him to accept her confession, but he tries to regurgitate the drug when he finds out, and she has to administer a neutralizer when his body becomes overwhelmed by the drug. The second time, she drugs a thermos to get Rentarou to make out with her, but everyone thinks the thermos is for the girls, and the drug turns them into kissing zombies.
26* It goes a lot further than kissing in ''Literature/{{Corsair}}'' when Canale is drugged with a powerful aphrodisiac and Ayace first saves him from the person who drugged him and then [[WhatTheHellHero decides to take advantage himself]], despite never showing any interest in him before. Being a [[BoysLove BL]] manga though, the relationship continues even after Ayace can no longer use the aphrodisiac as an excuse.
27* The [[YuriGenre Yuri]] {{Manga}}, ''Manga/GirlFriends2006'' uses this. The central couple gets their first kiss when Mari drunkenly kisses a [[DudeShesLikeInAComa drunkenly passed out]] Akko. Also, their [[LesYay two female friends]], Sugi and Tamamin sometimes make out when drunk.
28* Sano from ''Manga/HanaKimi'' kisses anyone near him when he's drunk. Cue HoYay moments.
29* In the ''Manga/HighSchoolOfTheDead'' {{OVA}} special, the gang is under the influence of the funky smoke. Saeko and Rei wound up [[spoiler: frenching each other on the beach with each thinking the other was Takashi.]] Though after they've recovered, [[ThatDidntHappen they agree to never speak of it again.]]
30* ''Anime/KillLaKill'': After being brainwashed by having Junketsu sewed onto Ryuko's skin by Ragyo and Nui, Ryuko ends up kissing Nui before battling Satsuki. Nui then mentions that Ryuko is better than Ragyo at kissing. It's played entirely for FanDisservice due to them technically all being family members and Nui being the killer of Ryuko's father.
31* Houin ("horny drunk") kissing a [[DudeShesLikeInAComa passed-out]] Aoki in the ''Kodomo no Jikan'' manga.
32* In one of ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh'''s {{OVA}}s, a [[DemonicPossession possessed-by-Shinou]] [[spoiler: Wolfram]] kidnaps Yuuri from his bed and forces them to kiss. The fact that Yuuri is conscious, awfully confused, and ''bound'' makes this scene that much funnier.
33* ''Manga/LivingGame'': Izumi and Raizo finally break through the sexual tension after some late-night boozing at the corporate party.
34* ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'' had an episode where Lucia was in possession of a mood-altering device that took control of her and made her kiss Kaito, then pass out. In the corresponding manga chapter, she wasn't misusing AppliedPhlebotinum, she was just drunk, from [[GRatedDrug ''cola''!]]
35* ''Manga/{{Moyashimon}}'' has the unforgettable episode where Hazuki Oikawa and Aoi Muto take aphrodisiacs. They think it has no effect on them... But their thoughts might be different [[BedmateReveal the following morning]]. Sado-Masochist Hasegawa has a somewhat different reaction (though admittedly she [[InVinoVeritas also had alcohol]], as did the other two in the manga).
36* ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'': Happens between the two teenage leads, thanks to an IntoxicationEnsues situation with a handful of mushrooms. It doesn't help resolve the WillTheyOrWontThey situation -- the next morning, only one of them remembers it.
37* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' has a rather interesting example in which [[ShrinkingViolet Nodoka]] asks Negi for a kiss... while they're in an area filled with the power of TheWorldTree. The magic turns Negi into a {{Determinator}} who ''will'' get a kiss from somebody. [[spoiler:He ends up kissing Asuna, almost suffocating her in the process, and goes back to normal afterwards with no memory of the event. Asuna [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain swears everyone who saw the incident to silence]].]]
38* In the ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' manga, [[spoiler:Tamaki]] kisses [[spoiler:Haruhi]] while delirious with a fever, and this is when she realizes that she has feelings for him. It psychs her out tremendously, and she is very frustrated when she realizes that she can't bust his chops about it since he doesn't even remember in the incident.
39* Ai's FirstKiss with Mew in ''Manga/PsychicAcademy'' after they had drunken an apparently alcoholic 'energy drink' touted by Ai's brother.
40* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'':
41** In an early chapter/episode, Ranma's [[UnstoppableRage "Cat-fu"]] is revealed to be calmed by laying on Akane's lap, purring like a cat. The first time this happens he gives her a little kiss on the cheek (acting like an affectionate cat). Embarrassed, she gives him the MegatonPunch.
42** Once, after being snagged by a Fishing Rod of Love, Ranma fell under a spell that made him fall in love with [[TheRival Ryōga]]. As a girl, Ranma would then kiss him lovingly on the cheek -- Ryōga's [[{{Squick}} reaction]] was [[UnstoppableRage less than pretty]].
43* Usagi's FirstKiss in ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' was under the influence. Which can leave a bitter taste in one's mouth towards Mamoru's action in taking advantage of her. It left a bitter taste in ''Mamoru's'' mouth when, after a FirstKiss-themed episode of the [[Anime/SailorMoon original anime]], they were discussing theirs, and he realised he was remembering an earlier occasion than she was.
44* In the second season of ''Anime/StrikeWitches'', Mio kisses Minna (presumably with tongue, if the sound she made while doing so is anything to go by) after getting plastered from a huge jug of wine. Not exactly how we expected it would go from a BeachEpisode.
45* Subverted in a chapter of ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' where Yami, under the effect of [[LovePotion Celine's pollen]] nearly kiss Rito that stop her before the effect disappear.
46* In ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'', Dornkirk uses magic with the help of Eria and Folken roleplaying to manipulate Allen Shezar, Van's rival, into kissing Hitomi. This was done to purposely drive a wedge between Hitomi and Van and keep them apart in order to change fate.
47[[/folder]]
48
49[[folder:Comic Books]]
50* ''ComicBook/{{Ironwood}}'': The object of the young Sulimon Canto's affection winds up kissing (and more) her lamia roommate while under the effect of Canto's LovePotion.
51* ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'': At the start of volume 4, Kim and Knives get wasted and make out, much to Scott's horror.
52* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':In ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan1999'' #601, Peter Parker wakes up in bed, naked, next to his roommate Michelle (equally naked). They apparently had sex after Parker had one too many at his Aunt May's wedding. It's later explained that, as a gag, Michelle kept filling his glass with cider when Peter wasn't looking, so he thought it was wine.
53[[/folder]]
54
55[[folder:Fan Works]]
56* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'':
57** Misato and Kaji in a bar during the Obon festival in chapter 5 as they were drunk.
58** It is not revealed until halfway through the story, but [[spoiler:Asuka had sex with Shinji because she had unknowingly been drugged with hormone-booters stimulated her sex drive.]]
59* Cadance recklessly firing off love magic results in this several times during the course of ''Fanfic/DiariesOfAMadman''.
60* In the ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' story "My Unsmurfy Valentine", Eros' lust arrows strike various male Smurfs who start kissing each other. Only it doesn't affect Tapper because he has some sort of [[ReligionIsMagic spiritual protection]]. In "Monkey On Your Smurf", Empath and Smurfette are under the influence of probes inside their bodies that are making them make out with each other. And of course, there's Papa Smurf in [[HulkingOut Hulked Out]] mode seeking to mate with Smurfette in "Papa's Big Crush."
61* In Chapter 82 of ''Fanfic/{{FREAKINGENSOKYO}}'', an aspara forces [[TagalongKid Ha-chan]], [[spoiler:Renko and Maribel]] to try and snog [[TheHero Brad]] and/or each other for several minutes. Brad [[AboveTheInfluence refuses to play along.]]
62* In ''Fanfic/FrozenFractals'', Elsa and Anna drink at dinner. A few hours later they end up [[BrotherSisterIncest kissing]] while inebriated. Elsa, however, isn't drunk enough to forget how socially unacceptable kissing your sister is, quickly stops, and runs out the room. The problem is that Anna didn't particularly mind the kiss.
63%%* ''Fanfic/HailToTheKingThuktunFlishithy'': Asuka does this to Shinji, courtesy of a [[SuperSerum G-cell serum]]. It leads to an AboveTheInfluence moment on Shinji's part.
64* ''Fanfic/{{HERZ}}'': In the backstory, Kurumi kissed Shinji when he was heavily inebriated [[spoiler:and then the got her way with him.]] She hoped that action led to them becoming a couple, but it backfired horribly: Shinji kept loving Asuka and he was so ashamed of what happened he started to actively avoid Kurumi.
65* ''Fanfic/HigherLearning'': In chapter 5, Shinji and Asuka get drunk while Misato is away. After spending a while joking and talking gibberish, Asuka says Shinji is hers, she hugs him and they kiss.
66* In the fourth chapter of ''Fanfic/AGlassOfWine'', Asuka kisses Shinji after they have consumed one whole bottle of wine.
67* ''Fanfic/JulekaVsTheForcesOfTheUniverse'': Circumstances have forced Ladybug to kiss Chat Noir while one or both of them were under the effects of various akumas' powers. [[EntitledToHaveYou Chat Noir]] takes these incidents as "proof" that the two of them are "meant to be together", despite Ladybug repeatedly rejecting his unwanted advances. At one point, Juleka overhears the two arguing about this, secretly [[CaughtOnTape recording the exchange]] and [[spoiler:submitting it to a special episode of Side-by-Side promoting the [=LadyNoir=] ship]].
68* ''Fanfic/LadyBugOut'' opens with the aftermath of one such incident. Oblivio [[LaserGuidedAmnesia wiped out]] Ladybug and Chat Noir's memories, and the two kissed before they were restored... much to [[EntitledToHaveYou Chat Noir's delight]] and Ladybug's horror. Despite seeing how upset the heroine was, [[ShipperOnDeck Alya]] posts the pictures she snapped of the incident on her blog, intentionally omitting the context... and when others press for details, tries to avoid revealing the truth. This motivates Marinette to [[StartMyOwn start her own]] blog in order to counter Alya's blatant misinformation.
69* In ''Fanfic/OldWest'', a high Grace Glossy unexpectedly gives her first kiss to Rattlesnake Jake after he has taken her home from Mud's saloon, and she passes out immediately afterwards.
70* ''Fanfic/TheSagaOfTheLastTwoSaiyans'': Vegeta gets drunk on strong alcohol given to him by Whis to get him to relax. In his drunken state, he ends up kissing Goku, saying people already thought they kissed because of their fake marriage.
71* In ''Fanfic/SpiderManFindingHome'', Peter, Kate and Yelena's first kisses with each other all occur on a night out when Kate gets particularly drunk; Kate kisses Yelena and then kisses Peter, before she basically grabs the other two by the heads and makes them kiss ''each other''. Notably, Peter and Yelena weren't as intoxicated as Kate due to Yelena being a more experienced drinker and Peter's enhanced metabolism, but both went along with the unexpected twist at the time as they were each too surprised, although they stop Kate taking it further than a kiss at this time.
72* In ''Fanfic/TheStudentPrince'', Gwen and Arthur kiss each other at a party while they are both drunk out of their minds, although nothing comes of it.
73* In ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' fanfiction ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/848400/chapters/1621084 Under The Influence]]'', [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]] and [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] kiss while they are under the mind-altering influence of red kryptonite.
74* ''Fanfic/XMenTheEarlyYears'': In "Boy Scouts, Sex, and Other Mysterious Things", a plastered ComicBook/JeanGrey kisses [[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} Scott Summers]].
75-->Suddenly, Scott was caught in Jean's eyes like a net. His mouth met hers and Jean responded back. Their tongues and minds entwined, and Scott found himself running his hands through her wild red hair. Jean's hands were all over him. The next thing Scott knew, they were on the ground with Jean on top of him. She looked like some pagan goddess, looking down at him with passion-bruised lips and her hair all mussed.
76* A variation in ''Fanfic/YouCallThatACostume'': while transformed into [[FurAgainstFang a vampire bat and werewolf]] due to a BecomingTheCostume spell, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash act like a pair of mating animals. Upon returning to normal, they do a TestKiss to see if it actually meant anything. They end up becoming a couple.
77[[/folder]]
78
79[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
80* In ''Film/{{Carefree}}'', the first thing Amanda tries to do after being given a drug that will lower her inhibitions is kiss Tony (her doctor).
81* ''Film/EmbraceOfTheVampire2013'': Drunk after having been [[ForceFeeding force fed]] vodka at the fencing club hazing, Charlotte and Sarah share a passionate kiss in the dorm corridor. It possibly [[GirlOnGirlIshot goes further than this]], although this just might have been an EroticDream[=/=]nightmare of Charlotte's.
82* In ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' E.T.'s psychic connection with Elliot results in the boy acting intoxicated at school when E.T. drinks beer at home. Elliot ends up kissing one of the girls in his class in a reenactment of the scene from ''Film/TheQuietMan'', which E.T. is watching at the same time.
83* A [[{{Squick}} less pleasant]] example occurs in ''Film/EuroTrip'', in which a [[BrotherSisterIncest brother and sister,]] twins, in fact, french-kiss each other at a rave, after drinking absinthe.
84** "You guys are the worst twins ''ever''."
85* Happens to [[spoiler:Brent and Tanner]] in ''Film/{{GBF}}'' (and maybe [[DidTheyOrDidntThey something else]]).
86* In ''Film/TheGravedancers'', exes Harris and Kira share a drunken kiss in the cemetery just before the unfortunate grave-dancing incident. While minor in the overall scheme of things, it does place additional stress of the group when Sid later tells Harris's wife Allison about it.
87* ''Film/TheManFromUncle2015'': Gaby and Ilya ''almost'' kiss after a scene which begins with Gaby drinking most of a bottle of vodka all by herself. This is also the reason why Gaby passes out before their lips actually connect.
88* In ''Film/MazeRunnerTheScorchTrials'', Thomas and Brenda make out at a post-apocalyptic rave party after they've been imbibed with hallucinogenic drugs. This also causes Thomas to imagine Teresa in her place, whom he's really in love with.
89* Almost happened in ''Film/{{The Mummy|1999}}''. Evie passes out just before the connection, though.
90* Mike and Tracy in ''Film/ThePhiladelphiaStory'', after lots and lots of champagne.
91* In ''Film/PlanB'', Bruno and Pablo's first two kisses occur at a party when they've had quite a few drinks and their friend Ana in [[GuyOnGuyIsHot egging them]] into taking their GayBravado a step further.
92* In ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}'', [[spoiler:Anne Weying (using the Venom symbiote) kisses Eddie Brock, thus transferring the symbiote back to him]]. It had been set up earlier in the film that [[spoiler:Venom was pushing Eddie to make amends with her, and it's implied that it forced Anne to kiss him. However, at the end of the film, there is noticeable insecurity in her words when she says the symbiote made her do it, and she says she won't tell her boyfriend about it]].
93* In ''Film/WhenEvilCalls'', a boy with a crush on Molly wishes that he could kiss her. Under the influence of the wish, Molly kisses him; very enthusiastically. However, the boy had not counted on Molly's [[ClingyJealousGirl psycho girlfriend]].
94[[/folder]]
95
96[[folder:Literature]]
97* ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'', [[spoiler:Holly kisses Artemis when they go into the past because the magic that transported them there turned her into a teenager and messed up her hormones.]] Makes certain events in the next book hilarious.
98* In the ''Literature/CiaphasCain''[[note]]HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!!!!!!!!!![[/note]] series (specifically ''For The Emperor'' and the short story "Sector 13"), Tyranid Genestealers are implied to force this upon their victims. Genestealers spread TheVirus to create "cults" of apparently loyal humans who will turn to the Tyranid side as soon as the hive fleet arrives in the system (or whenever would best suit their needs). To do so, they abduct and attack humans, then implant them with an organelle that lodges in their chest cavity. The main function of the organelle is to gradually infect the victims' children, who are also born with Genestealer implants. As the generations pass, mutations grow more extreme until eventually, they birth a combination of nearly-normal humans (for infiltration) and Genestealer Purestrains, which are vicious close-combat specialists that protect the cult and look nothing like humans. To ensure the hosts ''have'' children, the implants subtly encourage them to form attachments and have sex at every opportunity, especially (but not necessarily) with other hybrids.
99* ''Literature/DontCallMeIshmael'': In ''Ishmael and the Hoops of Steel'', [[spoiler:Ishmael kisses Sally, his best friend's girlfriend]] when he accidentally gets drunk on vodka.
100* In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' short story "Love Hurts", Harry and Murphy are investigating a string of murder-suicides involving couples. Harry figures out that the couples were made to think they were in love with dark magic. While investigating the state fair that all three cases linked back to, Harry and Murphy get hit with the love spell. Also gets into {{Squick}} territory: the most recent murder-suicide set off alarms because the couple were brother and sister under the influence. They couldn't resist the spell and fell in love, but also knew that it was horribly wrong, and snapped.
101* In Creator/LinneaSinclair's ''Gabriel's Ghost'', Sully self-medicates his mental problems with [[FantasticDrug honeylace]]. While [[strike:drunk]] furred on liquid courage he works up the nerve to kiss his longtime crush. She goes along with it at first but eventually breaks away because [[AboveTheInfluence she thinks he'll regret it in the morning]].
102* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': Hagrid gets roaring drunk on eggnog at a Christmas feast, culminating in giving [[NeverMessWithGranny McGonagall]] a peck on the cheek. She giggles and starts blushing.
103* ''Literature/{{Less}}'': At a party in Paris, Arthur Less meets Javier, resulting in nearly-instant chemistry between the two. When they leave the party for a cigarette, Less realizes that Javier is married, and they speak briefly about his husband. As they drink more and the night goes on they wind up kissing anyway.
104* The plot of ''Literature/MixBeerWithLiquorAndYouWillGetSicker'' is set off this way, as protagonist Lauchlan awakes after having a few drinks too many in a stranger's bed - a male stranger over that.
105* In ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'', it is not uncommon for [[MageSpecies warlocks]], but especially [[TheFairFolk fairies]], to brew drinks with such effects, and give them unsuspecting mundanes.
106** The sequel series ''Literature/TheInfernalDevices'' shows that too. Will and Tessa both drink something that is enriched with witch's powder and become almost intimate with each other. However, Magnus Bane comes just in time to stop her.
107** It is inverted in ''Literature/TheDarkArtifices''. Cristina kisses Mark after drinking some of the fairie-drinks and tells him that she would not have kissed him without the drink. Mark is upset that Cristina does not seem to kiss him to confess her feelings, and tells her it was just ordinary juice.
108* Cat from the ''Literature/NightHuntress'' novels is [[FantasticRacism determined to hate Bones]] despite her growing attraction to him. When she's been drinking, she forgets her prejudices and starts kissing him and flirting with him. Bones dryly observes that she only says nice things about him when she's drunk.
109* ''Literature/VampireAcademy'':
110** In ''Vampire Academy'', [[spoiler:Victor Dashkov]] gave Rose a necklace enchanted with earth, causing Rose and Dimitri to become overwhelmed by passion, which distracts them while he [[spoiler:kidnaps Lissa]].
111** ''Blood Promise'':
112*** Lissa was drunk when she made out with Aaron, her ex-boyfriend.
113*** [[spoiler:When Strigoi-Dimitri has Rose, he keeps her drugged up with his [[GRatedDrug bites]].]]
114[[/folder]]
115
116[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
117* ''Series/{{Angel}}'':
118** In "[[Recap/AngelS05E05LifeOfTheParty Life of the Party]]", Angel and Eve have sex thanks to an accidental magical incident. There's some LampshadeHanging at the end, as Angel begins to explain, but Eve flatly points out that it isn't the first time she had sex under a mystical influence.
119** Angel & Cordelia were possessed by spirits and ''almost'' had sex in "[[Recap/AngelS03E13WaitingInTheWings Waiting in the Wings]]".
120** "Bedroom Follies" (after ''After The Fall'') had this happen to the AI team because [[AliensMadeThemDoIt Illyria was in heat]], which affected the whole building. Spike got together with Laura, Angel with Kate (and Dez), and anything between Betta George and Polyphemus is left ambiguous. Meanwhile, Illyria tries to mate with Connor, [[AboveTheInfluence but he refuses]] and it soon passes.
121* Exaggerated in ''Series/AquiNoHayQuienViva'': Carlos and Alba end up having a child from a drunken New Year's Eve one-night stand.
122* Subverted in ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment''. After drinking some wine, George Michael and Maeby make out, but the wine is fake. Gob had planned to use it in a magic tr... err, [[InsistentTerminology illusion]].
123* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'':
124** In "The Maternal Congruence", Leonard's mother kisses Sheldon when she's drunk. Sheldon is quite shocked; she's not really impressed. Later, they agree to keep it a secret.
125** There was one even earlier than that between Penny and Leonard. The first time Leonard's mother appeared on the show, she pointed out Penny's issues with her father, which caused her to be upset. Leonard goes over to her place to find her drinking rum mixed with Eggnog. (Though it was straight rum by the time he got there). The two got very drunk and made out. They would've had sex if Leonard hadn't [[MomentKiller ruined the mood.]]
126** Happens once a season, actually. Season 1: After the Halloween party, Penny to Leonard. Season 2: After the aforementioned rum, Penny and Leonard. Season 3: Leonard's mother to Sheldon. Season 4: Amy to Sheldon. Well, there's two in Season 4 if you count Raj and Howard in "The Boyfriend Complexity".
127* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' did this one a few times...
128** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E6BandCandy Band Candy]]": Under the influence of a spell that makes adults act like teenagers, Giles and Joyce listen to sixties music, smoke, rob a store, and oh yeah, have sex (though the last isn't confirmed for several more episodes). They're awkward around each other afterwards and apparently eventually decide ThatDidntHappen; [[spoiler:however, apparently the memory was a fond one for Giles because when Joyce dies he can be seen mournfully listening to the same records.]]
129** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E9SomethingBlue Something Blue]]": Due to a botched spell by Willow, Buffy plans a marriage with Spike; the two act like lovebirds for the majority of the episode.
130** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E8TabulaRasa Tabula Rasa]]": Their memories wiped, Anya and Giles believe themselves engaged; the spell wears off during a sweeping dip kiss.
131** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E7OnceMoreWithFeeling Once More With Feeling]]": A second case of Buffy and Spike KissingUnderTheInfluence... sort of. (subverted because the demon causing the singing and dancing had left by then; subverted again when, a couple of episodes later, [[spoiler:they begin a sexual relationship]].)
132** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E19IOnlyHaveEyesForYou I Only Have Eyes For You]]": Buffy and Angelus are possessed by the ghosts of two dead lovers and made to kiss.
133* In the ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode "[[Recap/CommunityS2E10MixologyCertification Mixology Certification]]" Britta and Jeff kiss in the back of his car after a night at a bar. They forget that Abed is in the car with them watching.
134* In ''Series/DocMartin'', [[spoiler:Martin and Louisa]] kiss after drinking.
135* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E1NewEarth "New Earth"]], Rose, while possessed by Cassandra, kisses the Doctor. His response: "[[PostKissCatatonia Yep. Still got it]]." In a very squeaky voice with eyes glazed-over.
136* In the ''Series/{{Friends}}'' episode "The One Where Chandler Can't Remember Which Sister", Chandler gets drunk at a party because he's upset over a recent break-up, and makes out with one of Joey's seven sisters - but on the next morning, he can't remember which one. He was so drunk that he also kissed Monica, Rachel and (apparently) even Ross.
137* In the first season of ''Series/SchittsCreek'' David and Stevie get stoned and giggly, and to her surprise, he kisses her. The next episode begins with the couple awkwardly naked beneath the motel's red satin honeymoon sheets and regretting what has happened. This leads to David coming out as pansexual and a brief FriendsWithBenefits relationship before the pair settles into becoming [[BetterAsFriends best friends]] and AmicableExes.
138* In ''Series/{{Glee}}'', Blaine (who is gay) and Rachel kiss while they are both playing a drunken game of spin the bottle. They both think there might have been something there until Rachel kisses him again while sober. There wasn't.
139-->'''Blaine:''' Yep, I'm definitely gay.
140* In ''Series/GreenWing'', Caroline kisses four different people at her and Angela's party, after having 22 shots of tequila.
141* In the first season of ''Series/H2OJustAddWater'' all three girls kissed their love interests while under the influence of the full moon.
142** First it was Emma who came under the moon spell during her father's birthday. She kisses her love interest Byron twice during this episode.
143** Next it's Cleo, who has become a siren due to the moon spell. Her song hypnotizes Lewis and leads to ''both'' of them kissing each other under the influence.
144** Then there's Rikki, who loses control over her powers and escapes to Mako island. Zane finds her there while he is searching for the "sea monster" that he believes saved him. After they talk for a while, Rikki kisses him, which causes Zane to overheat and pass out since Rikki's powers are still out of control.
145* ''Series/{{Haven}}'': Duke and Jennifer get a FakeFirstKiss when the Troubled person of the week possesses Duke and assumes they're [[EveryoneCanSeeIt together.]] Rather than pretend this didn't happen, Jennifer brings it up after everything is resolved. Duke acknowledges that he is aware it happened--and also aware that she was into it before she realized he was NotHimself. They leave it there for now, but their mutual attraction is now out in the open.
146* In ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', Mohinder's [[Film/TheFly1986 weirdly derivative]] bug-like mutation makes him much more sexually assertive for a while -- he hooks up with Maya after passionately tearing her blouse right off her -- before he dives right off the deep end entirely.
147-->'''Maya:''' You ''are'' different...
148* Chase and Cameron in ''Series/{{House}}'' during the episode where Cameron was emotional because she was afraid that she had HIV and she was under the influence. To elaborate -- Cameron had just been exposed to some HIV-infected blood when the patient of the week coughed at her and, in a later scene with the patient, he encourages her to try some of his crystal meth stash. She does...and promptly jumps Chase.
149* Thanks to Morgana's evil plan, Gwen kisses Lancelot under the influence of a magic bracelet in season 4 of ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}''.
150* In ''Series/MurdochMysteries'', William and Julia share their first kiss (and very nearly go a lot further) after consuming most of a bottle of absinthe in an experiment to determine its effects in "The Green Muse".
151* ''Series/MyBabysittersAVampire'':
152** Erica kisses Benny while under the effects of Benny's {{Love Potion}}. Benny is more than excited about this.
153--->'''Benny:''' I...kissed...Erica!
154** Subverted when Ethan and Sarah almost kissed after being transformed into ''Series/{{Dusk}}'' lovers, but returned to normal at the last second putting them in an awkward situation.
155* Pam kisses Jim early on in the second season of ''Series/TheOfficeUS''. At the time, she's drunk on "second drinks" (melted ice mixing with leftover margarita).
156* On ''Series/TheOrville'', this becomes the plot of the episode "Cupid's Dagger" courtesy of a visiting alien's pheromones. It also comes close to completely ruining a delicate bit of negotiations, almost leading to full-scale war.
157* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'':
158** It has a kiss between J.D. and Carla in season 4. Both were drunk and the morning after exchange was hilarious:
159--->'''J.D.:''' It was a friend kiss, and we'll never talk about it to anyone ever!\
160''(Elliot enters the room)''\
161'''Elliot:''' What's going on?\
162'''J.D.:''' Nothing!\
163'''Carla:''' J.D. and I kissed!\
164'''J.D.:''' Carla!\
165'''Elliot:''' What, like a friend kiss?\
166'''J.D.:''' Yes...\
167'''Carla:''' ''No!''\
168'''J.D.:''' CARLA! YOU'RE KILLING ME!
169** The whole next episode dealt with the backlash from Turk (Carla's husband) and it was a major plot point about their marriage being in trouble.
170* ''Series/{{Skins}}'': Naomi and Emily have danced around each other for the entire season. They are at a party, both being three sheets into the wind.
171-->'''Naomi:''' ''(motioning between the bottles in her hand)'' So, what do you want?\
172'''Emily:''' ''(completely mesmerized by her)'' Anything. Just give me a fucking... Just... Just give me a... ''(leans over and kisses her. Naomi shows absolutely no resistance)''\
173'''Naomi:''' Oh... ''(her denial catches up with her libido)'' It's only the drugs, right?\
174'''Emily:''' ...sure.\
175''(The two start to make out like crazy.)''
176* ''Series/{{Sliders}}'': Maggie and every man she can get her hands on after being implanted with an alien egg intent on propagating.
177* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'':
178** Seriously, Chloe and Clark kissed more times under the influence than not, although notably every time it is just making Chloe show her hidden feelings.
179*** ''Hug'': To prove his mind control powers, the [[MonsterOfTheWeek meteor-freak of the week]] makes Chloe kiss Clark.
180*** ''Rush'': An adrenaline-inducing parasite infects Chloe, leading to some heavy making out with Clark who is affected by red kryptonite, and would certainly have gone further if she didn't remove his shirt and the red kryptonite in it.
181*** ''Devoted'': A love potion makes Chloe wait at the loft wearing nothing but his football jersey. Three guesses what happened.
182** Also, every single episode that involves Red Kryptonite. Thankfully, almost everyone Clark kisses suffers EasyAmnesia when the phlebotinum wears off. This sometimes reaches ludicrous levels -- Why did red kryptonite lipstick erase Lois's memory when it wore off? If it didn't, the writers would have to use CharacterDevelopment.
183** Later, Maxima and Zatanna used PsychicPowers and magic, respectively, to force Clark to kiss them.
184** ''Shield'': After Hawkman gets drunk, he hallucinates his dead wife standing before him. Overwhelmed, he rushes up and kisses her, then it turns out he snogged Lois. Outraged and not realizing what he's going through, Lois slaps him.
185*** Emil and [[TheBaroness Tess]], on the other hand, [[HomePornMovie is not as subtle]].
186* ''Series/StargateSG1'': Sam kisses Jack in "[[Recap/StargateSG1S1E4TheBrocaDivide The Broca Divide]]" after turning into a cavewoman. Every male character who kisses Hathor is under the influence of her weird breath. It happens more than just these times...
187* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'', where in one episode Rodney and a female soldier share Rodney's body between them. First, she advances Rodney's social life by taking control of his body and kissing the woman he has a crush on. Then, at the end of the episode, she takes control again, but this time to kiss the ''man'' that ''she'' has a crush on, before undergoing the [[AppliedPhlebotinum risky reversal procedure]]. This last caused squee overload for slash fans because onscreen it's just two guys kissing.
188** Sheppard from ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' gets to kiss both female leads like this. The first time he kisses Teyla because he is losing his inhibitions due to transformation into a bug. Then while the two are acting as hosts to alien consciousnesses 'Elizabeth' kisses 'John'. [[spoiler:Then she tries to murder him.]]
189* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E10PlatosStepchildren Plato's Stepchildren]]", sadistic and bored aliens with psychokinetic powers, which allow them to control people's movements, force Kirk and Uhura, as well as Spock and Nurse Chapel, to kiss for their amusement, leading to the first black/white interracial kiss on American TV.
190* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E2TheNakedNow The Naked Now]]", Data and Lt. Tasha Yar have sex while under the influence of the same alcoholic intoxication disease that inflicted the ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries TOS]]'' crew in "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E4TheNakedTime The Naked Time]]". After they were cured, Tasha told Data that the whole thing never happened. In later seasons, Data is shown to treasure the memory, especially after Tasha's death.
191* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'':
192** Kes almost provides what would have been the show's only lesbian kiss when she is possessed by an evil alien dictator in "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E9Warlord Warlord]]".
193** In "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E15BloodFever Blood Fever]]", when Vorick goes through his ''[[MateOrDie pon farr]]'', he forms a brief telepathic mind-meld with B'Elanna (before getting his jaw broken) who then becomes consumed with lust for Tom Paris. Paris proves to be AboveTheInfluence, but the incident nevertheless foreshadows later developments.
194** In "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS4E7ScientificMethod Scientific Method]]", B'Elanna and Tom hook up for real and start MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces, earning a formal reprimand from the captain. In that episode, aliens are discovered doing secret medical experiments on the crew, and they wonder if their sex-mad behaviour, perhaps even their entire relationship, might be a result of some aliens messing with their hormones as an experiment. Well, it's a good thing they found out in time, Tom and B'Elanna conclude [[HypocriticalHumor while snogging passionately]].
195* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' has a lesbian kiss in the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E06Rejoined Rejoined]]" involving Dax and another Trill. The "influence" in this case is that both parties are remembering a previous life in which they were a heterosexual couple.
196* The "alien orgasm monster" from the ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' episode "[[Recap/TorchwoodS1E2DayOne Day One]]".
197* In the ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' episode "Meltdown", Crichton and Aeryn are affected by fluids from Talyn that make them consumed with mutual lust. In one amusing scene they have to snog, frantically complete some essential repairs, then gratefully go back to snogging again (this example is actually playing with the concept, as John and Aeryn were ''already'' in an intimate relationship during this episode. Talyn's fluids just ramped them up into overdrive). Likewise, an alien infiltrator increases everyone's emotions prior to draining them in "Twice Shy". Chiana's already considerable sex drive is increased, leading to her [[strike:almost]] kissing the (female) alien, cornering and attempting to flirt with Aeryn, and trying to forcefully 'recreate' with John Crichton on a table.
198* Elena's younger brother Jeremy from ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' did a lot more than just kiss his crush when they were both high over the summer.

202* A one-sided example occurs in ''Series/FraggleRock'' when Wembley makes friends with a girl Fraggle named Lou. Mokey, convinced that Wembley is in love, takes him to the Trash Heap to ask how to make sure Lou returns the sentiment. The Trash Heap gives Wembley a bottle of Love Potion #9 to use on Lou. Unfortunately, it spills into the pond, producing a gas that everyone in the Great Hall inhales. Boober, after falling under the influence of the love potion, starts smothering Wembley with kisses. Wembley, the only one not under the potion's spell, is not in the least inclined to kiss Boober back. Fortunately, the potion works for only twenty minutes.

206* In ''Theatre/PeterPanGoesWrong'', Annie starts kissing Jonathan while she is still woozy from being electrocuted. Jonathan responds rather enthusiastically.

209[[folder:Video Games]]
210* In ''VideoGame/BlazingDragons'', Flicker reflects a hypnotic spell onto Trivet, putting him into a trance where he believes he's really Princess Flame. When Sir Loungealot comes in to check on "her", Trivet tells him to stop stalling and get to "some action". Loungealot ''happily'' obliges with a big kiss, only for the hypnotism to wear off right then.
211* Hilariously averted in ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'', Lamretta almost pulls this on the protagonist after getting particularly wasted in the Fate Episode of her R version, but her gut kills the mood.
212* Mentioned in ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII''. During part of Castti's Chapter 2, Partitio mentions that [[WhatDidIDoLastNight he can't remember what happened last night]] because he drank too much. Castti proceeds to troll him by implying that they got up to some rather naughty shenanigans, much to his shock.

215[[folder:Visual Novels]]
216* In Rin's route of ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'', Rin, high on codeine, wearing only an unbuttoned shirt and panties, lets Hisao into her room and eventually kisses him. Then she falls asleep and forgets about it the next morning.
217* Used with three different love interests in ''VisualNovel/{{Melody}}'':
218** Melody's "evening kiss" that she she gives the protagonist as a "reward" (provided that the player previously made certain choices) takes place after the two of them share a bottle of wine over dinner.
219** On Becca's romantic path, Becca invites the protagonist to dinner at her apartment, and he brings a bottle of wine. If he answers Becca's questions in certain ways, she will kiss him goodbye for the night.
220** The protagonist's first kiss with Amy (at least if Melody isn't there) happens outside her hotel room, after they both drank at her birthday dinner.

223[[folder:Web Animation]]
224* ''WebAnimation/UtasRomComMangaDubs'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj_ggtX-eYM Mia]] suddenly kisses Hiromu while she's drunk, it turns out she tends to do this to random people whenever she gets drunk.
225[[/folder]]
226
227[[folder:Webcomics]]
228* ''Webcomic/{{Achewood}}'': "Man, chicks will do anything on Cuervo! They'll even lez out!"
229* Narrowly averted and played with in ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' when Ash and Vashiel both believe they did a lot more than kiss. [[spoiler:It turned out they just got so blitzed that they passed out and were put in the same bed to make it easier to keep an eye on them]].
230* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Elliot [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2011-06-10 kisses]] Carol on the cheek while under the influence of the personality altering aspects of his "Cheerleadra" spell.
231* Cloudcuckoolander Izm and his friend A.E.D [[HoYay made out when they were drunk]]. Of course, this being ''Webcomic/HedoneHigh'', it was never mentioned again.
232* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
233** This trope is applicable in an update wherein an intoxicated Rose kisses Kanaya. Cue fandom flip-out. However, it seems that they had basically been going out for a while beforehand, so it wasn't out of nowhere.
234** In the Trickster Arc, [[spoiler:Jane, Roxy, and Jake become intoxicated, after becoming Tricksters from a [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007607 Spiral Sucker]] (which is [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007679 likened to drugs]]). Roxy then proposes to Dirk and tells him to kiss her. After Arquiusprite recommends that he "just go for it," he nonchalantly acquiesces to do so]].
235* Steve and Mark in the opening arc of ''Webcomic/KhaosKomix''. [[OneThingLedToAnother And then some]].
236* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', [[HeroicComedicSociopath Belkar]] kisses [[InsufferableGenius Vaarsuvius]] full on the lips after drinking 10 mugs of beer in 10 seconds. [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain The one witness is sworn to silence.]]
237* Happens in ''Webcomic/{{Rain|2010}}'' between [[spoiler:Fara and Heather]], [[spoiler:Heather and Jessica]], and a one-sided version between [[spoiler:Rudy (drunk) and Rain (sober)]].
238* In an early ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' strip, Zoe got drunk at a New Year's party and [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=971231 kisses a guy she's too drunk to recognize as Torg]]. Made doubly awkward since Zoe says "You're not like those jerks Torg and Riff" before kissing him.
239* ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'': Booze leads Jerzy to bad decisions regarding Angel [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/sticky-dilly-buns/i-am-whoever-you-want-me-to-be here]]. Angel's exploitation of the situation verges on ButLiquorIsQuicker territory.
240* ''Webcomic/TrippingOverYou'': {{Downplayed|Trope}} when Milo mistakenly believes his crush Liam has started dating someone else, [[DrowningMySorrows drowns his sorrows]] with a few drinks, and then makes a LoveConfession when he learns the truth. It gets him a KissKissSlap in the short term, but a RelationshipUpgrade in the long run.
241-->'''Milo:''' I'm just... I... ''like'' you.\
242'''Liam:''' That- that wasn't ''pop'' you were drinking, was it? ''(Milo kisses him)''
243* Implied to have happened numerous times in ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}''
244[[/folder]]

246[[folder:Web Videos]]
247* The Creator/{{Tobuscus}} video "How to Get Women" is a parody of Axe deodorant commercials in which Toby, upon donning Axe body spray, is constantly assaulted by women attempting to make out with him. This wrecks his life and drives him into therapy, but he refuses to give up the Axe.

250[[folder:Western Animation]]
251* Happened in ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' episode "League of Villains" where Jimmy distracts the villains by exposing Beautiful Gorgeous and the Junkman to a love potion, causing a large amount of {{Squick}} from both sides.
252* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', Roger and Francine attend a wine tasting together and end up kissing while drunk. Roger worries that this will destroy his newfound friendship with Stan, so he tries to engineer a similar situation with Stan and a random woman he claims is his girlfriend so they'll be even. Of course, Roger ends up destroying the friendship anyway by resorting to [[BuriedAlive extreme measures]] to keep Stan from finding out.
253* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': In "Dr. Yap", Linda's sister Gayle becomes infatuated with Bob after Bob kisses her, mistaking her for Linda while he's recovering from his dentist's anesthetics.
254* Happens a few times in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents''.
255** Timmy uses TheDarkSide suit for this purpose on Trixie in "The End of the Universe-ity". He also tries in "Genie, Meanie, Miney, Moe", but it's though [[JackassGenie Norm]]. "You Doo" is a debatable example, while the dolls could control actions, there was no evidence it could change personality. A variation occurs in "Love Struck!" when Timmy puts a spell on himself so he can date Tootie.
256** The chapter book ''Token Wishes'' also has Tootie using one of Timmy's wish tokens to make him kiss her.
257* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'' Jonny and Jessie get possessed by the ghosts of two lovers who murdered each other over a jealous spat. Hadji and another character convince the spirits to literally kiss and make up... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXix3MHTx-Q&feature=related while still in Jonny and Jessie's bodies]]. There's a brief awkward moment between the two after (the fact that they failed to notice the ghosts had left them for several seconds probably didn't help) but it passes fairly quickly. Jessie even teases Jonny about it later in the episode.
258* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' in its most memorable episode, "Emotion Sickness":
259** A [[EmotionBomb mood-controlling chip]] (the Moodulator) attaches to Kim and gets inadvertently switched to "Love," leading to her first kiss with Ron. Cue the GrandFinale's RelationshipUpgrade!
260** Shego is under the influence of the same device. In defiance of the usual "one-sided case" variation, Dr. Drakken spends the entire episode weirded out by Shego's mood swings and ''terrified'' by her actions when it's set to "very angry". The two only get an implied kiss.
261* In the ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' episode "Night Terrors", Shaggy and Daphne breathe hallucinogenic fumes and end up making out and then snuggling, much to Fred and Scooby's horror. Daphne thought she was kissing Fred, and Shaggy thought he really was Fred ([[WorthIt not that he seems overly regretful]] once coming to his senses).

265* According to Kate Fox, the sociologist author of ''Watching the English'', this explains all drunkenness. British people are too chronically shy to just say they like someone, instead they get drunk, (not accidentally but as a deliberate aim) then kiss under the influence. Either you end up in a relationship or you can claim you were kissing under the influence. This idea is supported by studies that show that people can still get drunk on alcohol-free placebos, getting drunk in order to behave badly, rather than behaving badly because they are drunk.
