* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'':
** A variant in "[[Recap/RockosModernLifeS1E4WhosForDinnerLoveSpanked Who's For Dinner?]]"; Heffer goes to several all-you-can-eat diners to eat fast food and alleviate his sadness over [[AdoptionAngst finding out he's adopted]]. One waiter tells Heffer he's had enough French fries to eat, and Heffer yells in response, "IllTellYouWhenIveHadEnough, you greasy plate jockey!" Then he tries to eat the dijon mustard stain on the waiter's apron.
** In "[[Recap/RockosModernLifeS4E12HypnoPuppyLoveDrivingMrsWolfe Hypno-Puppy Luv]]", Heffer hypnotizes Rocko into acting like a dog, but is unable to undo the spell. When Rocko gets run over by a street sweeper, it frizzes his fur, making him look like a shaggy dog. His shirt becomes damaged and falls off, leaving him naked. When Heffer and Filburt find Rocko's shirt with a tire track on it, they assume that Rocko has been run over and go to a diner to drown their sorrows over Rocko's supposed death in soft drinks. Eventually, the manager tells them that they're going to have to leave, as his shift's over.

* Done in ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', with StraightMan Mac loading himself up on ice cream to forget his troubles. Mac's metabolism can't handle sugar, and he acts like he's on speed.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
** Bender is doing it in [[Recap/FuturamaS1E1SpacePilot3000 the pilot episode]]. He's getting drunk because he found out that he -- a bending unit -- was used to bend parts for suicide booths. Fry wonders why would a robot need to drink, and Bender assures him that he doesn't ''need'' to drink and can quit any time he wants. It was later changed and established that robots indeed do need alcohol to function properly.
** In "[[Recap/FuturamaS1E3IRoommate I, Roommate]]", Bender gets so depressed about Fry throwing him out of their apartment that he ''stops'' drinking and (since robots need alcohol to function properly) starts to act drunk. He even grows a BeardOfSorrow made out of rust!
--->''"I'm sober and crazy and don't know what I'll do!"''
* In the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Gideon Rising", Grunkle Stan goes to Greasy's Diner and orders "your strongest, most expired cider" to drown his sorrows over losing the Mystery Shack to Gideon Gleeful and having to send Dipper and Mabel home early.
* In "Riot's Hope" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'', Riot sits around at a party drinking [[FrothyMugsOfWater not-alcohol]] gloomily by himself after learning his mother is sick and being forced to interact with his abusive father.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' features Bolin doing this with [[DrunkOnMilk noodles]] after he sees [[spoiler: his crush Korra kiss his brother]]. He becomes uncoordinated, sullen and the next day is clearly hungover.
* K'nuckles from ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' seems to do this with "maple syrup". Also, in "High Land Lubber" he actually asks Peppermint Larry for something to drown his sorrows, [[spoiler:even though Peppermint Larry gives him prune juice.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'':
** Toki Wartooth does this after his father's death, getting hammered numerous times since then. The other band members note on this, with Skwisgaar saying he doesn't want to babysit Toki during Seth's wedding, and everyone being shocked that he's drinking straight vodka in the morning. [[spoiler:Ironically, he knocks out Nathan's assailant with a vodka bottle in the Season 2 finale.]]
** It's strongly implied that this is what drove Pickles to become TheAlcoholic. [[spoiler:When Seth burned down the garage, he blamed Pickles and the rest of the family accepted it. He was ''six'' when he started drinking.]]
* Both parodied and played for drama in ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'':
** In the first season, Clay Puppington's alcoholism is less pronounced and played for laughs. But in the later parts of the second season and the entire third season, things take a darker turn.
** In "Nature" where he gets progressively drunker and at one point of sorrow, screams "WHY DO YOU STOP WORKING ON ME?" at the bottle.
** Another example is in the episode "Sacrifice" where he gives a very depressing and drunken monologue about life in the aptly named "old Forgetty's Pub" and then antagonizes everyone inside the bar so much, that he drives them all away.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': G-rated versions of this trope have cropped on occasion:
** In the first season finale, "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E26TheBestNightEver The Best Night Ever]]", Spike is disappointed when the girls leave to do their own thing at the Grand Galloping Gala instead of enjoying the night together as he suggested. At the end of the episode, we find Spike's spent the night stuffing his face with donuts and hot cocoa at Pony Joe's donut shop. He even [[DrunkOnMilk briefly acts like a sullen drunk]].
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E10TheBreakUpBreakdown The Break Up Breakdown]]", Big Mac, Spike and Discord [[ItMakesSenseInContext are hiding in the bushes]] when they overhear Big Mac's girlfriend Sugar Belle saying things that sound suspiciously like she's planning to break up with him. The next scene cuts to Big Mac's home, where he's sobbing uncontrollably and guzzling apple cider.
* Occurs in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' episode, "I Will Kick No More Forever", when Vince starts losing his touch in every sport. The scene that features this trope is when he stays home from school binging out on root beer and donuts (complete with BalloonBelly) while watching video recordings of his previous games. Mikey even asks, "Don't you think you've had enough!?"
* Implied in ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' when Catra finds Shadow Weaver holding a goblet and slurring slightly [[spoiler: after Adora [[CallingTheOldManOut calls her out]] for her lifelong mistreatment of herself and Catra, tells her she'll never let her get the power she seeks, and then goes with them [[DeathSeeker to quite possibly die]].]]
* Happens in ''WesternAnimation/ShinboneAlley'' after Mehitabel [[spoiler: tells Archy he's too low class to see her any more.]] He goes and gets plastered inside a liquor bottle.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': The only reason Moe's Tavern has stayed in business after all these years.
** With a special nod to an episode where he gives Homer a special drink, specifically made to cause short-term memory loss. Of course, when he can't remember what he's supposed to forget, Homer comes to some pretty wild conclusions.
--->'''Moe:''' Frankly, I'm surprised you're not across the street, where they drink for fun, instead of here, where, uh... horrible addiction compels you.
** In "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish" upon being told his plant needed $56 million in renovations to avoid being shut down Mr. Burns pulls out a liquor bottle and pounds shots for several hours, drunkenly stumbling to his car and sobbing.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Ass Burgers", this is effectively what the cynics do, all [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory ridiculousness]] aside. By the end of the episode, this is [[spoiler:what Stan turns to, [[NegativeContinuity possibly]] [[OffscreenInertia on a long-term basis]], just to get through a normal day]].
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' drowns his sorrows in ''ice cream'' in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie''. [[DrunkOnMilk It has the same effect on him as alcohol.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': In "Mr. Greg", when Greg feels like he'll never be able to patch things up with Pearl, he goes down to the hotel bar and is seen with [[DrunkOnMilk a glass full of maraschino cherry stems]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'': In "Car Trouble" in the first scene of the third act Cyborg is sitting despondently on a curb, having failed to get his car back from Gizmo, surrounded by empty milkshake cups. Presently Raven shows up, looks at the cups and remarks, "Fourteen milkshakes. Not a good sign."
* When Tom gets jilted in the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' cartoon "WesternAnimation/BlueCatBlues," he starts drinking. Apparently, in this cartoon, milk gets him drunk. His eyes form fuel gauges to register when he's full.
