* The prevalence of this trope raises some UnfortunateImplications in ''LeisureSuitLarry: Magna Cum Laude''. As Larry Loveage, your overall goal is to score with as many women on the college campus as possible. With several girls, especially [[ReallyGetsAround Luba]], this is done by getting them drunk via one or more minigames. However, it notably ''fails'' to work each time, because Larry is TheLeisureSuitLarry and has no luck whatsoever.

* ''ADanceWithRogues'' requires you to get her at least a little drunk to get Pia in bed with you. Then again, the entire scene ''was'' staged for your benefit...
** According to Gemli, this applies to the player character.

* In ''{{Monster}}'', Eva's unflattering flashbacks of Roberto heavily imply that the only reason she had slept with him was thorough inebriation. Whether he supplied the alcohol is, however, unclear.

* Subverted in FiftyFirstDates: one of the male lead's seduction techniques involves plying them with non-alcoholic beverages but telling them they're alcoholic for a placebo effect. This lets the women lower their inhibitions without actually having reduced cognitive function, so nobody has to feel guilty.

* Kennedy, from BuffyTheVampireSlayer, describing the lesbian dating scene:

* May have caused a BrokenBase for SailorSun when the much-debated origin of the gender-bent heroine's KidFromTheFuture was finally revealed as "Got drunk, woke up pregnant".
* June pretty much uses this method to take advantage of Pembroke in {{Femmegasm}}

* Quagmire of ''FamilyGuy'' is always trying to get the girls he meets drunk, though in general that also involves other date rape drugs.

** That's in [[OlderThanDirt Genesis]], not Matthew

* [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Kennedy]], describing the lesbian dating scene:
--> "It's like flirting in code, it's using body language, and laughing at the right jokes. And looking into her eyes and knowing she's still whispering to you, even though she's not saying a word. And that sense that if you can just touch her, just ones, everything will be okay. For both of you... [suddenly flippant] Or, if she's really hot, you get her drunk and see if she comes on to you."

* Quagmire of ''FamilyGuy'' is always trying to get the girls he meets drunk, though in general that involves actual date rape drugs.

It can seem like a date rape drug, and some jurisdictions can include it as a form of statutory rape, but actual date rape drugs [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_rape_drug work in a far different manner]].

* ''ADanceWithRogues'' requires you to get her at least a little drunk to get Pia in bed with you.

* ''OutThere'' put the following twist on it: Rod gets falling-down drunk while attempting to seduce Miriam, who is spending a rare evening abstaining from alcohol. Miriam doesn't want Rod to attempt to drive in his condition, so she insists he come home with her. Not wanting to be tempted, she gives him her bed while she goes to sleep with her roommate Sherry. It is not until the morning, when both Miriam and Rod are completely sober, that she succumbs to his advances.

* The FlandersAndSwann song "Madiera, M'Dear" is about a sly old man who attempts to get a young maiden drunk to sleep with her.
-->Unaware of the wiles of the snake in the grass,\\
Of the fate of the maiden who topes,\\
She lowered her standards by raising her glass,\\
Her courage, her eyes, and his hopes.
* In La Ronde, the married gentleman seduces the young girl with wine. There may be something else in there too.

* ADanceWithRogues requires you to get her at least a little drunk to get Pia in bed with you.
