Examples of Gargle Blasters in Anime & Manga.
- One episode of Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy had Belldandy pitted against Sayoko in a drinking contest. At one point, Bell is still standing strong while Sayoko is having trouble speaking coherently... so she decides to bring a bottle of her most potent stuff — and collapses upon opening it and smelling its contents. Sayoko had to be taken away by paramedics, while Belldandy did eventually get drunk... on cola.
- The Ai Yori Aoshi anime has a bottle of liquor that Tina brought from America. It glowed in the dark. Taeko, the resident Meganekko/Cute Clumsy Girl drank a cup straight, and everyone thought it was fine. As it turned out, Taeko is just really good at holding her liquor, and naturally, Hilarity Ensued.
- Galaxy Express 999 a cloaked man (later revealed to be Harlock) is introduced by breaking up a fight by offering the men a sip of his drink, which gets them instantly smashed, then lets Tetsuro try a sip while cautioning him that "It's the most potent drink in the galaxy and shouldn't be drunk by children or women." Tetsuro instantly gets sick from the tiny sip, while Maetel proceeds to drink the entire jug dry without flinching, much to the man's dismay.
- Grand Blue 's "Oolong tea". In a pint glass, pour in 9 parts vodka and 1 part dark whiskey. You can light it on fire too! If you need water, drink up, it's clear — even though you can light it up and pour out of a bottle that say "Spirytus" and "96%"
- Chapter 21/Episode 12: Otori
... Peek-a-Boo style. Into a large stone jar, everyone pour in a full bottle of their favorite liquor. First comes 2 bottles of Spirityus (96%). Then another bottle of Spirityus, then another. Then if allowed, a jar of Awamori (60%), but is frowned upon due to dilution. And keep going until everyone pours in and have enough so for every X person, they can chug X time; in this case, 12 times; each chug involves a full glass that is poured not just to the brim, but have the surface tension rising a bit. Drink it fast, other wise at least a gulp will be evaporated. Be careful of the alcohol vapor; it sting. For those with weaker composition, dilute one part of the mixture with 2 parts water so it's "only" 30%. (note: typical liquor percentage: 40%)
- Chapter 21/Episode 12: Otori
- In My Hero Academia, Midnight has a preference for heavily alcoholic beverages. When she's drunk, she mixes up the nastiest cocktails imaginable before forcibly serving them to others. One serving was enough to make Present Mic claim he saw the other side and his ancestors waiting to greet him into the underworld.
- The Prince of Tennis: Inui's juices are not alcoholic, but pretty much everyone on the team breaks out in a cold sweat at the thought of them, and even Fuji, who otherwise happily drinks anything Inui makes, passed out upon imbibing the "Aozu".
