* WebVideo/TheWebcomicRelief, a [[CausticCritic caustic]] webcomic critic, reacts this way after having to review ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}''. But then again, [[Horrible/{{Webcomics}} can you really blame him?]]

--> "It's always hard being a grown-up. That's what alcohol's for."

--> I was just so overwhelmed by its sheer immensity
--> I had to pop myself a beer

--> I ain't complaining, but I'm tired, so I'm just saying what I think
--> And if we're being honest, then honestly, I think I need a drink

-->She said, I don't drink\\

'Cause the last few days have kicked my ass.

-->I blew out my flip flop\\

That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

-->Stop the lies, stop the fights!
-->No one's taking away your rights!
-->All this speculation makes me need a flask!

* In VideoGame/DiscoElysium, you have the option to react like this if you fail to brave the stench of the corpse while trying to get near it. Kim, knowing full well that Harry is a severe alcoholic, will sternly disapprove.

* ''Lost Moon'', a memoir by Jim Lovell (the commander of spaceflight Film/{{Apollo 13}}) recounted an incident from his military days, in which he had to land on a darkened aircraft carrier at night as part of a training exercise. First, his tracking beacon locked onto the wrong signal, putting him miles off course. Then, as he tried to find the carrier again, he accidentally shorted out the lights in his plane, leaving him unable to see his instruments. Ironically, this lights failure allowed Jim to see the glowing algae in the wake of the carrier, and so he found his ship, but his plane's lights were still out, meaning he was ''aiming at an unlit runway in the dark with only a penlight to view his instruments.'' [[ComingInHot His landing, as a consequence, was rougher than the norm]]. Upon exiting the cockpit, the ship's doctor offered him brandy, saying "Have a little medicine, on me." He downed most of it in one gulp.

** Diane's [[http://egscomics.com/comic/2013-06-05 realization]] that she wants more than a superficial relationship [[AwfulTruth shocks her]] to the point that she decides to try obtaining alcohol despite being underage in order to forget her epiphany.

'''O-Chul:''' The day you learn you will be responsible for containing a god-eating horror that lives under our feet is the day you come of age. Drink.

--> '''Brian:''' "I've done a little research into this brisket of his, and it's ''fourteen months old.''"
--> '''Frenchie:''' *pauses, sighs, and reaches for his glass*

** When Tarvek [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20230901 returns]] from talking with Othar Tryggvasen (GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER!),Gil is holding a glass of wine, which he hands to him:

* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'', one of Snake's radio support members Para-Medic, who has the job of telling him how to maintain his health and what animals and plants are okay for him to eat, informs him of a certain type of mushroom he has procured that should never be combined with alcohol. Para-Medic, being the good physician she is, explains that the mushroom inhibits the body's natural ability to absorb and break down alcohol so if you were to go drinking after eating it you would get a hangover from hell. Snake finds this fascinating but he takes Para-Medic's words as an insult, asking if she honestly thinks he would risk compromising the mission at hand by drinking alcohol, Para-Medic responds by saying that she is popping back a shot right now as they speak and says that Snake should join her and loosen up. Snake is flabbergasted by Para-Medic and grunts in disgust, who then says that she was only joking, which in frustration causes Snake to mutter under his breath, "Uh... I need a drink.", before ending the conversation.

* During the Usefulnotes/COVID19Pandemic-induced lockdowns of 2020, people started posting pictures of their "quarantinis" and other alcoholic beverages on social media from home quite early in the day in places like the US where it's considered vaguely taboo to drink during daylight hours. It's not surprising that alcohol sales went up during this period.
