One of the most well-known effects of alcohol and other recreational drugs are to loosen inhibitions, and if a specific inhibition is having sex with someone, that other person can use alcohol or other drugs just for that; the other person could also be drinking or doing drugs so that he or she will be less self-conscious about having sex. Anyway, this trope is fairly common in fiction, but usually parodied nowadays, and is quickly entering Dead Horse territory due to increased awareness that intoxicated people cannot consent to sex. Subtrope of Liquid Courage. Compare In Vino Veritas, Kissing Under the Influence, Beer Goggles, Drugs Are Good. May be invoked to fuel Alcohol-Induced Bisexuality, or raise the issue of Questionable Consent. Contrast Above the Influence, Slipping a Mickey, Drugs Are Bad. Yes, this is likely done in Real Life, but depending on the jurisdiction and level of intoxication, it may qualify legally and/or morally as rape. The full quote is "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker." noreallife |

The 40-Year-Old Virgin: Andy's friends try invoking this in order to get him laid. The drunken bachelorette he goes home with crashes her car and pukes on him. Great idea, guys. After she crashes the car and pukes all over Andy, she offers to have sex with him if he's still interested. He declines, as nearly being killed and then being thrown up on is a bit of a mood-killer. | |

In an episode of Chuck, a suave Bond-like spy attempts to teach nerdy Chuck how to seduce women as part of his spy training. A mission requires Chuck to seduce a very dangerous Russian woman. His first attempt is botched when he attempts to buy her a drink (as per the spy's instructions), only to find out that she doesn't drink. This prompts the spy to exclaim, "How is he supposed to seduce her without alcohol?" This either indicates his low faith in Chuck's charm or a limitation of his own seduction skills. | |

In Community, the ill-advised decision is made to serve alcohol at an STD fair offering free condoms, leading to the expected consequence of a lot of horny, drunk young people planning on having sex with each other and with plenty of contraceptives available which, unfortunately, turn out to be faulty. Dean Pelton is apparently unaware that alcohol can remove inhibitions: "It makes me sleepy!" | |

The Young and the Restless Cane has drinks with a co-worker. The next scene is of him waking up naked in bed with absolutely no memory of what happened. When his co-worker later tells him that they did in fact have sex, he's horrified and disgusted with himself for having cheated on his wife, and even moreso when the woman files a sexual harassment complaint against him. But the fact that she was seen repeatedly pouring out drinks for him, not to mention that she initially lied and denied that they'd even had sex, then claimed that it was consensual, means that if anyone was sexually assaulted, it was him. This is a major component of most soaps Double Standard Rape: Female on Male stories—the woman deliberately gets the man intoxicated or outright drugs him so as to have sex with him. Unfortunately, the man is always angry at himself for having supposedly cheated on his wife/girlfriend, while the wife/girlfriend herself is also infuriates about his infidelity. No one ever seems to regard the man as a victim. |

With several girls, especially Luba, this is done by getting them drunk via one or more minigames.

Zigzagged in Alan Ford: volume 443 ends with a Swedish bifauxnen stewardess offering all the passengers champagne and flirting with the heroine Minuette before inviting her to join the "Mile-High Club" with her later. The variation is that she didn't spike Minuette's drink, but rather everyone else's, so that in an hour they'll be asleep and leave them privacy. | |

Used for drama with Bonasera's daughter in the opening of The Godfather. A boyfriend and his friend made her drink whiskey with the intent of taking advantage of her, but when she resisted, they viciously beat her to the point that the undertaker says that "she will never be beautiful again." Bonasera's reason for coming to Don Corleone was to avenge this horrible wrong after the courts did not provide him with the justice he sought. | |

On My Name Is Earl: Joy (six months pregnant, with no idea who the father is It's Earl) is out with her friends at a bar, worried about how she's going to survive without a man since her parents kicked her out of the house. Joy then notices Earl, and knowing that he probably won't go for a pregnant lady on his own, she conspires with her friends to get him wasted, which they do. Then they introduce Earl to Joy. The next morning, Earl wakes up in a hotel room in Las Vegas, completely naked, with Joy...and a new wedding ring. Also subverted in the episode where Earl and some friends form a garage band and try to have sex with some groupies after the show. The woman Earl was trying to score with was passed out from the alcohol, so Earl didn't bother with her. He did however, sleep with his bandmate's mother ("She wasn't young, but she was conscious.") In another episode, we have the following exchange: |

Ultra Fast Pony. In "Pirate Shipping", the cutie mark crusaders want Cheerilee and Big Mac to hook up. To this end, they brew a "love potion" which turns out to just be alcohol. After a single drink, Cheerilee and Big Mac fall in love, get married, and consummate their union (all night long) before regaining sobriety. | |

In Smallville, Clark is immune to the effects of alcohol just like all other earthly toxins, but he has his own personal replacement: red kryptonite. In Rush and Unsafe, he has some heavy making out with Chloe and Alicia respectively, but the red kryptonite is luckily (or unfortunately, if you prefer the relevant characters with Clark) removed before he does any irreparable damage. | |

At Tsubame's Christmas party in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Iino ends up getting drunk by eating alcoholic chocolate bonbons. A boy who'd been paying a lot of attention to her throughout the night offers to take her somewhere more comfortable... and then gets her to lie down on the sofa and sleep off the alcohol, while the other partygoers remark that Iino should never go to a bar or else this sort of thing will happen to her for real. | |

Later, after they're married and he's inherited the throne, he's totally flabbergasted when she announces she's pregnant and furiously tells him off while both their Companions are watching. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. In "The Circle", Kira is surprised when the Ferengi bartender Quark turns up with a free bottle of synthale to wish her goodbye after she's Kicked Upstairs. He's implied to have other motives for lending his booze and a sympathetic ear..."You'll be surprised how often that works with women!" In fairness to Quark, you can't get really drunk on synthale. | |

Ménage à 3 periodically depicts the inhibition-reducing effects of alcohol, though characters don’t usually set out to get each other drunk for purposes of seduction: Zii gets Erik and Adrien into bed for a threesome after a night's mutual drowning of sorrows over DiDi. She probably didn’t plan it, but Zii is highly opportunistic. Sonya sets out to get Erik drunk for seduction purposes (actually so she can break him up with Zii). But he proves to have a much higher tolerance for alcohol than her, so that goes the way of many of Sonya's bright ideas. However, later that evening, Sonya and Zii collide while both are drunk. Zii initially tries to refuse Sonya's attempts at seduction (not for the first time), but then Sonya suggests that Zii breaks up with Erik by text, accepts Sonya's offer, then makes up with Erik in the morning. Zii is drunk enough to think that this is a good idea. Again, Sonya didn’t get Zii drunk, but she was quick to exploit the opportunity. It is later revealed in an extended flashback that Gary, while on a private jet to Europe with Senna and suffering from extreme nervousness (this being his first-ever flight), accepted her suggestion that he have a drink or three. (He didn't pay attention to what he was drinking, she didn't pay attention to his requests for something non-alcoholic.) By the end of the flight, Gary had joined the Mile-High Club, which might well not have happened had he been sober, given his nervousness about Senna's gender status. Senna probably just assumed that this was her innate sex appeal at work, though. |

In Brave Soul, Rudy tries to get Alicia drunk - not exactly to get into bed with her, but to see her naked somehow (and check whether she has the birthmark like the girl in his dreams). It backfires, because, it turns out, Alicia's alcohol tolerance is unbelievably high - much higher than Rudy's. | |

In The Forever War by Joe Haldeman, regimental doctor Diana Alsever tries some moonshine cooked up by, well, the regimental cook. She gets so plastered that she has no qualms about putting moves on the unit's commander, Major Mandella. Since this is a No Heterosexual Sex Allowed future — the major is the only member of the regiment old enough to be hetero — Diana must be really drunk. She passes out completely before anything interesting can happen, but Mandella makes a mental note to buy some good booze and get her alone if they ever make it back to civilization. | |

One flashback in the movie of Revolutionary Girl Utena shows Akio and Anthy having an encounter after champagne is consumed. Worse, said champagne is obviously drugged. Long story short, he thought she was unconscious and proceeded to rape her, only to realize later that she was awake the entire time. He responds by stabbing her, and then falling out the window to his death. Moreover it's heavily implied that he somehow ended up with her drink by accident. | |

Miriam doesn't want Rod to attempt to drive in his condition, so she insists he come home with her. Not wanting to be tempted, she gives him her bed while she sleeps with Sherry.

Unsurprisingly shows up in Game of Thrones: When Tyrion Lannister is forced to marry Sansa Stark. He's so disgusted at the prospect of having to bed a girl who hates him and his evil family that he gets himself supremely wasted just to get through it. Even then, he can't bring himself to do it, plus he ends up being so trashed that he passes out. Sansa Stark herself chugs down some wine before going to undress for Tyrion. Jaime and Brienne finally give in to years of slow-burning UST between them the night after the Battle for the Dawn, having been playing a drinking game beforehand — though in this case it's made fairly obvious that the only thing the liquor did was help them get over their own inhibitions, and that it likely would've happened sooner or later anyway. |

Played with in Campaign 1 of Critical Role. The night before fighting the ancient red dragon Thordak, Percy shows up to Vex's room with a bag containing several bottles of alcohol, but he brought them to share, as this was the culmination of them having revealing their mutual feelings to each other. The supertrope is even referenced, as one of the drinks is simply called "Courage" (and is the one they intentionally start with). | |

In this case the inhibition being overcome is the fact that Eleya is Gaarra's direct superior (they didn't know this the first time) and thus them sleeping together is against regulations (they're still sober enough to remember but drunk enough not to particularly care). | |

Phil from Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law was in the court isle during the episode "Death By Chocolate", in which charges are pressed against Boo Boo Bear. He says to a bunch of monks, "You know what I always say. Gandhi is dandy, but liquor is quicker. Ha ha HA! ...Quicker." The monks then begin to ponder on the subject. | |

In Monster, Eva's unflattering flashbacks of Roberto heavily imply that the only reason she had slept with him was thorough inebriation. Whether he supplied the alcohol is, however, unclear. | |

Person of Interest. John Dillinger (Reese's predecessor as The Man in the Suit vigilante) is introduced saving a Damsel in Distress just as she's about to be murdered, then telling her, "You've had a very traumatic experience. You probably shouldn't be on your own right now. I don't know about you, but I could use a drink." Cut to her waking up in his bed the next day. The scene establishes Dillinger as a more sleazy and less moral character than John Reese. | |

In Fluttershy's Night Out Fluttershy is very unused to alcohol, and she gets drunk. This is partially Nosey's fault, partially Fluttershy's own naivete about the likely consequences of drinking too much. It's about half of the reason why she's willing to sleep with Nosey on a single night's acquaintance. | |

Somewhat subverted in South Park. The boys try to mate Cartman's pet pig with Kyle's pet elephant (long story). They initially try by just getting them drunk. While the animals do end up getting pretty drunk, nothing seems to be happening. Chef explains to them that it isn't enough, and proceeds to sing to get them in the mood... with a little help from Elton John. | |

Subverted in 50 First Dates: one of the male lead's seduction techniques involves plying his dates with non-alcoholic beverages but telling them they're alcoholic for a placebo effect. This lets the women lower their inhibitions without reducing cognitive function, so nobody has to feel guilty. | |

In Enemy at the Door, set in German-occupied Guernsey during World War II, the episode "After the Ball" revolves around a ball held by the Germans to promote good relations with the locals. One of the local girls meets a charming young German soldier, and spends most of the evening with him, drinking and dancing. While he's walking her home, he initiates a drunken makeout session and then takes it too far. It's left ambiguous whether he deliberately got her plastered to lower her resistance, but the possibility is one of the things that counts against him at his court-martial. | |

One of the George and Azazel stories by Isaac Asimov is about a girl who was raised by a very strict mother, and so cannot interact with the opposite gender properly. In addition, her metabolism is extremely sensitive to alcohol, so sensitive that the narrator calls for the titular demon in order to remake her metabolism and make the trope possible. Unfortunately, the demon did too good a job — the girl acquired a real taste for alcohol, and the new metabolism processed it all into fat. | |
