The Alcoholic / Web Animation

Go To


  • Boomstick of DEATH BATTLE!, being the stereotypical southern American redneck, is portrayed as this. Many of Boomstick's Noodle Incidents, if not all of them, has been attributed to him handing Wiz his beer and going "Here, hold this." Of course, the man does have limits — in a preview video for Amy Rose, Wiz lied to Boomstick about that [Boomstick] has the ability to drink as much alcohol as he wants only for the man to lose all of that and everything else all over the floor during the preview video for Amy's opponent, Ramona Flowers.
  • Hard Drinkin' Lincoln: Abraham Lincoln is portrayed as a heavy drinker.
  • In Les Kassos, this is Aspégix and Grodébilix problem in all their appearances. That... "magic potion" of theirs might contain a little bit of alcohol. Grodébilix once tries to quit because he's fallen in love, but one pep talk from Aspégix makes him quickly plunges back.
  • Lobo (Webseries): Lobo has a stach of Gutrot, a beer in his bike.
  • 514 from Lucky Day Forever. His fridge is filled with Little Prolie Beer. Used to show that 514 buys into the Whites' propaganda.
  • Mo from RObotzi is a rusty robot who's obsessed with alcoholic drinks.
  • RWBY:
    • Qrow Branwen's first non-flashback appearance is in a bar somewhere, his dialogue has a noticeable slur, and when he walks away, he's visibly swaying. Later on he's seen carrying a flask, and picks a fight with an important foreign agent (and personal ally of his).
      Winter: [complaining] He was drunk!
      Glynda: He's always drunk.
      • Qrow's drinking gets played more seriously in Volume 6, where due to not only finding out Salem cannot be killed, and there is no plan to defeat her, and how Ozpin has utterly betrayed the loyalty and trust he had in the man for decades, he starts drinking even worse. He spends most of the episodes "Alone in the Woods" and "The Coming Storm" passed out drunk, almost getting everyone else killed when he's not awake for a serious danger. In the volume finale, he puts away his flask.
    • The same is also implied for Marcus Black, as his son Mercury said to Cinder that Qrow "smelled like my dad after a long day".
    • Willow Schnee, as her daughter Weiss puts it, gradually transitioned from glasses to bottles of wine to dull the pain of her loveless marriage to the cold-hearted Gold Digger and Corrupt Corporate Executive Jaqcues Schnee. Now, she's almost completely withdrawn herself from social life and drinks vodka straight from the bottle.
