Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope?

The memory erasing is covered under Memory-Wiping Crew. Alcohol may require Force Feeding.

A group has a policy for new recruits; they take them somewhere private but not too far from their homes, tell them their mission of fighting monsters/aliens, etc... And if the recruit reacts badly, they erase his memory and put him back where they found him. They may even do this repeatedly if the recruit has skills they really want. Magic and sci-fi settings have Laser-Guided Amnesia, but even a relatively mundane group can just force a liter of booze down his throat and leave him at the local drunk tank to sleep off the hangover.
