Line #6 PlayingWith/CantHoldHisLiquor


1	'''Basic Trope''': Just a sip of liquor and he's passed out.
2	* '''Straight''': After taking a sip of liquor, Bob passes out for several hours.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Bob passes out for a week after so much as smelling alcohol.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Bob can drink a bit of liquor. Any more than that, and he's out.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Bob rarely drinks, is young, or both, and has not built up any tolerance.
7	** Bob is genetically incapable of tolerating alcohol.
8	** Bob has recently eaten an "inky cap" mushroom (''Coprinopsis atramentaria''), which ruined his alcohol tolerance.
9	** Bob can hold most drinks as well as others, but he ordered a GargleBlaster, which exceeded his limits by too much.
10	* '''Inverted''': NeverGetsDrunk
11	* '''Subverted''':
12	** Bob passes out after taking a sip of liquor ... then it turns out he'd been drinking for several hours. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.
13	** Bob passes out after one drink... then it turns out someone slipped him a Mickey.
14	* '''Double Subverted''': He'd just been drinking the weakest drinks imaginable and shouldn't be tipsy in the least.
15	* '''Parodied''':
16	** [[YourMindMakesItReal It's all in Bob's head]] -- when his friends tell him a soda pop is an alcoholic beverage, [[FakeHigh he passes out]]; meanwhile, he takes a Long Island Iced Tea (not knowing its alcoholic content) with no problems.
17	** Bob gets DrunkOnMilk.
18	** Bob gets drunk even though he hasn't ingested any beverage.
19	* '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob passes out late in the afternoon after a small sip of liquor. But he'd been drinking all day ... except he was drinking very weak liquor. But he'd still been drinking ''all day'' -- anyone would pass out after that much drinking.
20	* '''Averted''': Bob has a reasonable, if not extreme, tolerance.
21	* '''Enforced''': "We need to show the viewers that [[DrugsAreBad drinking is bad]]. Let's have a seemingly healthy adult male pass out after a drop of liquor!"
22	* '''Lampshaded''':
23	-->'''Charlie''': He's passed out already? The party hasn't even ''started''.
24	-->'''Alice''': That's Bob for you.
25	* '''Invoked''': Bob doesn't like drinking, but succumbs to peer pressure, so he acts as if he's very drunk after just a small sip as an excuse not to drink any more.
26	* '''Exploited''': Knowing that Bob will be extremely drunk after only a sip, Alice offers Bob a drink in an attempt to make him slip up and reveal private information.
27	* '''Defied''': Bob is TheTeetotaler, and his alcohol tolerance is never tested.
28	* '''Discussed''':
29	-->'''Alice''': That's it, Bob! First drink of the night!
30	-->'''Bob''': Well, you've seen the TV shows. Maybe I'll be passing out before I can bring the second drink to my mouth.
31	* '''Conversed''': "...That's just a can of beer, right? How's he that drunk? Was the studio too lazy to film more than one sip of drinking?"
32	* '''Deconstructed''': Bob is seen as less of a man and ostracized because of his inability to handle alcohol. People are reluctant to befriend him because they know he (and by extension they) can't drink.
33	* '''Reconstructed''':
34	** He finds friends who don't drink.
35	** He gets his existing friends to accept his condition and they go to bars by cab, on foot, by bus, or with him as the designated driver.
36	* '''Played for Horror''':
37	** Bob is robbed, raped, and killed while he's out cold.
38	** Bob transforms into [[EldritchAbomination something bizarrely nonhuman]] while he's out cold; what's more, it would really [[PainfulTransformation hurt him]] if he were awake.
39	* '''Played for Laughs''': Bob takes a sip of wine and gets drunk. HilarityEnsues.
40	* '''Played for Drama''': Bob has an alcoholic drink despite having no tolerance for it (possibly after eating the aforementioned "inky cap") and is hospitalized with alcohol poisoning.
41	* '''Implied''': At a WildTeenParty, Bob is the only kid who passes out.
