* ''[[ThirtyRock 30 Rock]]'' has at least one instance of this, in which Liz Lemon, having gone to the dentist for some surgery, naturally undergoes anesthesia that evidently affects her...[[{{Understatement}} strongly]] (as in, put a waffle in her DVD player and thought that it was the best movie ever). When she goes back to work, she finds an entry marked "Future Husband" in her contact list. This kicks of a sort of mini-arc.

* The oldest brother, Tony Russo, of {{Blossom}} had been a recovering drug addict who had huge gaps in his memory. He even once forgot that he went to college and realized it while he was wearing the sweatshirt.

* {{Pathfinder}} has a possible MostTriumphantExample. Cayden Cailean, a BoisterousBruiser, was drunk off his ass when somebody bet him that he could survive the Cathedral of the Starstone. Three days later, when he sobered up, he was the god of Freedom, Bravery, and Alcoholic Beverages, with no memory of the intervening period.

Another version can occur were everybody else does know what happened last night, but decide to conceal it so as to have some fun with the poor guy who can't remember.

** Meanwhile Barney (who also tried the slushy) wakes up in a Greek cargo ship wearing a sailor outfit. His only reaction is "uh oh! Not ''again!''"

* ''OutThere'' establishes the use of this trope early in its run. On the first night they meet, Miriam and John end up spending the night in a hotel together after she ties one on [[spoiler: (nothing happens, except a [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20060710.html '''really''' good dream]])]]. In another arc about a year later, Miriam and Sherry go out drinking and the next day Miriam's memory of the night is so spotty that she can't remember [[spoiler: [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20070707.html if she cut her own hair]] (she didn't; Sherry cut it [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20070630.html while she was sleeping]])]]. Another time, a hung-over Miriam thinks she remembers Sherry sabotaging her one-night stand, and assumes she must be remembering wrong [[spoiler: ([[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20081105.html she isn’t]])]]. Not long after, Miriam and [[spoiler: [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20090131.html Clayton]]]] end up in bed together, and Miriam needs a [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20090201.html recap the next day]] to find out what happened. Later, while touring with Steven's band, Miriam gets drunk at a party and and is later surprised to find [[spoiler: [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20090911.html a phone number written on her belly]] in [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20090912.html indelible ink]].]] Still later, Miriam wakes up on Araceli's couch and has trouble remembering what they did the night before, but she [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20100325.html figures it out on her own]], confirming (in her own mind) that she doesn't have a drinking problem, after all.

* Katy Perry's [[http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858727099/ "Waking Up In Vegas"]]

* ''MadMen'' features a ''very'' serious one of these after Don Draper wins a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clio_Award Clio Award]]; the blackout lasts from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, during which Don makes a pitch that succeeds in the worst possible way, hooks up with an adwoman who had been actively seeking him out since the ceremony, then hooks up with ''an entirely different woman'' (apparently the waitress from a nearby diner), who [[spoiler:[[OhCrap calls him Dick]] when he wakes up in the morning. Oh, and the reason that the pitch succeeds in the worst possible way? He has to hire an incompetent relative of Jane Sterling's as a copywriter. Peggy is ''[[{{Understatement}} pissed]]''.]]

* If the player loses the drinking contest with Gemli in part 2 of A Dance With Rogues or drinks too much before going upstairs with Pia in the first part, she will have no memory of her experiences.

* The CrossesTheLineTwice [[TheSpoonyExperiment "Spooning with Spoony"]] series features first Nostalgia Chick and then Nostalgia Critic waking up in bed with a DepravedBisexual version of Spoony. Of course there the implication isn't so much that they got drunk as that they got roofied.

** Later, Nostalgia Chick and BFF Nella play a Hercules drinking game, and wake up surrounded by bunnies, with a third friend dressed like Spider Woman and hanging from a bar by her feet while sleeping, with a strange man in front of the couch making omlets on a hot plate, and Nella's mouth smeared with unfamiliar lipstick. This is capped with the words "based on a true story".

* One episode of ''BlackBooks'' does this. Bernard is trying to figure out why some friends of his are so angry with him. Unlike some other examples, the only clue he's got is that he's incredibly hungover (nothing new for him). Turns out (spoilered'd for your sensitivity) [[spoiler: He'd taken a dump in their wicker clothes basket, then gave their son fifty pounds not to tell. Then suggested that their six-year-old son was doing drugs.]] He breaks his arm going back to apologise.
