I Need a Freaking Drink: Difference between revisions

** During ''[[Fear Itself]]'', {{spoiler|the Grey Gargoyle's slaughter of Paris forces him back into alcoholism, not helped by enabling dwarves and endless amounts of mead.}}

* [[Tintin|Captain Haddock]] is like this [[The Alcoholic|all the time]].

 

== Fan Works ==

* [http://kotorfanmedia.net/node/9227 This]{{Dead link}} ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' fic features ''Carth'' of all people saying something to this effect.

* Said by George (without the “freaking” part) in ''[[With Strings Attached]]'' after John reveals his wings to him. The four then proceed to a bar and get trashed (except for John, who can't any more).

* One ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' fanfic, ''Once Bitten, Twice Shy'', gave this reaction to ''[[Shrinking Violet|Fluttershy]]'' of all ponies on a disastrous [[Not a Date|not-date]] with Twilight Sparkle. After one setback, Rarity gives her a glass of wine to help get her confidence up. Following a particularly stressful incident, Fluttershy ''drains'' most of the wine bottle and has to be magically sobered up before she's able to stand, let alone go back into the restaurant.

* Ben Harper in ''[[My Family]]'' takes this to almost [[Catch Phrase]] levels.

* Happens every now and then on ''[[Babylon 5]].'' In one episode, Londo hands Vir an unpleasant mission while at the bar and Vir finishes off the drink his boss abandoned at the table before heading out. The temptation is probably pretty heavy for [[The Alcoholic|Garibaldi]] at times.

* ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' when Ted has to break up for the second time with a girl he dated much earlier but broke up with her on her birthday. When he realizes it's her birthday yet again and she starts to say how he's brought hope back into her life. He turns to the waiter and says "Oh so much more wine."

* Jen does this in ''[[The IT Crowd]]'' when hearing of how a high school classmate has the perfect successful life that Jen wished she had.
