* ''VideoGame/DejaVu1985'': There is a bottle you can get at the beginning of the game that can be broken and used as a weapon. However, there is no reason to use it in the game and only allows you more ways to get a game over.
* The most common weapon in the ''{{VideoGame/Doom}}''-based first person BeatEmUp ''VideoGame/ActionDoom2UrbanBrawl''. In fact, the very first weapon you get in the game is a bottle of Jack Daniels the player character drinks to reduce his sensitivity to pain and then uses as a weapon.

* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
** In the second game's third case, a bottle is used as a weapon, but it's not the murder weapon and just leaves the victim with a concussion. It, however, broke. It was probably made from cheaper glass than Phoenix's favorite brand of grape juice.
** Later on in the same case, it's possible to bait Maya into hitting Phoenix with a plastic bottle that, of course, does not break.
** In the first case in ''[[VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney Apollo Justice]]'', the victim hits a waitress over the head with a glass grape juice bottle, and knocks her out. (Yes, [[FrothyMugsOfWater despite what you're all thinking]], it was really grape juice, even in the Japanese original.) Later, the victim is killed with a hit from another bottle, which does ''not'' break, and the unbroken bottle becomes evidence.
* [[spoiler: Sakura Ogami's death]] in ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' involves [[spoiler:her]] being subjected to this. [[spoiler:Twice. ''With enough force to shatter said bottle each time.'' She '''still''' lives after this and later commits suicide via drinking poison. Of course, she ''is'' a [[BrawnHilda titanic mountain of muscles]]. You could probably hit her with a whole case of bottles and she'd still be fine afterwards]].
