Someone in fiction who gains such powers is a [[Drunken Master]]

Line 54:
** There also exist several drinks which, in addition to providing adventures, also provide actual buffs. Also, absinthe, which strangely doesn't get you drunker, instead temporarily opening a new set of zones to adventure in.
** Sneaky Pete's day. Drink in moderation, it's the same as normal. Go into a stupor, still the same. Get ''completely blasted'', you get a new area.
* In ''[[Lusternia]]'', drinking can dull damage. Certain races (particularly dwarves - [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|natch]]) can handle their beer way better than others. And Brewmeisters (a trade) can handle it better still, in addition to brewing their own magical draughts. Consequently, a drunken dwarf Brewmeister is [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|a force to be feared]].
* In ''[[Urban Dead]]'', cans of beer and bottles of wine both increase your health by one, but because drinking either one takes a whole turn, it's usually better to just search for a medkit.
* In ''Nodiatis'', the "Alcoholic" class gets increasing protection from [[Standard Status Ailments]] by being "buzzed".
Line 89:
* Used by Zegram in ''[[Rogue Galaxy]]'' -- "Drunken Burst," in which a swig of grog increases the attack power of all allies.
* ''[[Jade Empire]]'' has Drunken Master style, only usable if Henpecked Hou is in your party. Booze is used to boost your health, but slows your reflexes. This is used to hilarious effect in one of the final battles where you team Hou up with [[Ax Crazy]] Black Whirlwind, who is over the moon with delight over being able to drink and fight (his two favorite things in the world) at the same time!
* Being drunk is [[Magic aA Is Magic A|how the magic works]] in ''[[Dubloon]]''.
* In "[[Phantasy Star Universe]]" and related games the Photon Art "Ikk Hikk" involves drinking alcohol, beating up your opponent, breathing fire, passing out, and then flailing your arms and legs.

* [[Badass Normal|Edward Carnby]] from the ''[[Alone in The Dark]]'' series drinks from various hip flasks scattered about to gain health.
* In ''[[Eternal Darkness]]'', Edward carries a flask of "[[G -Rated Drug|liquid courage]]"; drinking it restores sanity. There must be something to it, since Edward is one of the few characters who doesn't wind up dead or insane after his adventure. (Well, not ''immediately'' after, but that's beside the point.)
* ''[[Dead Rising]]'': Both Frank and the gun store owner drink wine ''by the bottle'' to replenish health.
** In [[Dead Rising 2|the sequel]], Chuck downs an entire bottle of Whiskey (the same you can make a molotov with, holy crap!) in a few seconds. Although the risk of getting sick to your stomach arises when consuming more than one alcoholic item shortly after another (which results in vomiting uncontrollably).
