In fiction, no one ever has TCP antiseptic... but everyone has vodka. This trope occurs when a character pours liquor on a wound to disinfect it, or drinks alcohol as an anesthetic. Note that in the latter case this trope would only occur when the character is using alcohol specifically as a painkiller right before having a wound stitched up by a Backalley Doctor or a bullet extracted etc, and not when a character is just generally self-medicating with alcohol. In Self-Surgery situations, booze can do double duty as anesthetic for the pain and Liquid Courage for the squeamishness. Using the alcohol as an antiseptic can be an example of Worst Aid, depending on the alcohol. You need as clean an alcohol as possible for that. If you're using brown liquor or, worse, wine, then you're introducing a lot of sugar and virtually guaranteeing a nasty infection. Even medical-grade alcohol requires ten or fifteen minutes of contact time to kill bacteria; otherwise, a bacteriology professor described it as "just giving the germs something to swim in." Not to be confused with Booze-Based Buff, where the alcohol grants abilities and is basically a power up. If the alcohol instantly remedies a characters ailments, it's more Health Food than this trope. Sub-trope of Bizarre Beverage Use. Examples |

Pale: Exaggerated versions of these are part of the Gargle Blaster arsenal of the booze Goblins known as Tods. As they chaperon their Barney, someone on a sustained sometimes weeks-long Drunken Montage, they sometimes need to get their victim/partner back up after they take a hit, one example has barney walk-off being caught up in helicopter blades by taking a swig of this. | |

In the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy, drinking vodka reduces the irradiation level, presumably by diluting the partucles and making the drinker urinate them away. It doesn't work as well as and weighs more than antirad medicine, but it's cheaper and easier to get by inexperienced stalkers that inhabit the outer edges of the Zone. In Call of Pripyat, vodka has another side-effect of making you hungry. | |

Both Housenote patient attempted suicide by copier fluid; House plied him with rum under the guise of a last drink and Casualtynote dodgy homemade alcohol floating around (the lab where it's being made later explodes); the actual recommended treatment - fomepizole - is out of stock in the pharmacy, but ethanol is the next best thing; which is also out of stock (they're reordering it!). A nurse is handed £40 and sent off in search of two bottles of the highest proof vodka or gin they can find. Notably, they're also advised to double check the bottles for seal, sediment and paid duty to make sure it's legit have used this one. | |

In Attack on Titan, Krista pours a bottle of wine on Reiner's arm after a Titan mauled it. This leads to a sad moment when Gerger finds the bottle and tries to enjoy One Last Drink as a Titan grabs him. He starts crying when he realizes it's empty and demands to know who drank it all. It's doubly sad considering Reiner is actually a Titan Shifter with a Healing Factor, meaning Gerger was denied one last drink for no reason at all. | |

Sam and Dean Winchester from Supernatural have used this method for years. Demonstrated one time when they were Trapped in TV Land on Dr. Sexy, MD—Doctor Dean got shot and Doctor Sam had to operate.

Subverted in an episode of Irresponsible Captain Tylor, where the ship's doctor considers using his personal stash when crew injuries are piling up.

Marvel Cinematic Universe Daredevil (2015) As a child Matt Murdock had to regularly patch up his boxer father. In the second episode he brings dad a bottle of booze for antiseptic before doing so, but dad tells him to take a sip instead so his hands won't shake. Downplayed when Stick demands whiskey after Elektra gets cut with a poisoned weapon—it's just one ingredient in his Magic Antidote. He demands tea as well, but that's just for him to drink afterwards. Luke Cage (2016). In "Now You're Mine", while hiding in a nightclub's kitchen basement, Claire Temple sterilizes her hands and Misty's wound with alcohol, then sews her up with dental floss. The Punisher (2017) In "The Judas Goat", Curtis uses alcohol to disinfect the gunshot and arrow wounds Frank Castle got in the previous episode, before operating on him. He hands the bottle over to Micro when it's clear Micro can't handle watching Curtis work. In "The Dark Hearts Of Men", after surviving a brutal fight with his former colleagues in a Neo-Nazi group, Pilgrim removes a packet of cocaine from one of their bodies and snorts it before his painful After-Action Patch-Up which includes resetting a dislocated jaw. Unfortunately this causes him to fall back into old habits. |

Altered Carbon. Dig 301 asks Poe where the "human first aid kit" is. Poe says it's behind the bar. All Dig finds is a bottle of whiskey, and when she points this out Poe adds, "There's also gin." | |

Daredevil (2015) As a child Matt Murdock had to regularly patch up his boxer father. In the second episode he brings dad a bottle of booze for antiseptic before doing so, but dad tells him to take a sip instead so his hands won't shake. Downplayed when Stick demands whiskey after Elektra gets cut with a poisoned weapon—it's just one ingredient in his Magic Antidote. He demands tea as well, but that's just for him to drink afterwards. |

Disney's The Swamp Fox series has one of these in the episode 'Tory Vengeance'. Francis Marion gives some to his nephew as an anesthetic after the boy is shot-sadly, he can't do anything for the wound. Justified, though, as it was the 1700s, and medical care as we know it didn't exist. | |

In one of St. Paul's letters to his friend Timothy, Paul urges him to drink some wine for his stomach problems, and that such an act is not sinful or bad because a) the intent is to make Timothy's ailing stomach feel better, not to get wasted and/or engage in any kind of drunken debauchery and b) Paul acknowledges in other parts of his writings that a little worldly pleasure now and then isn't necessarily a bad thing. Although some mega-teetotal churches have been known to suggest that Paul was instructing Timothy to rub the wine on his stomach as an ointment - because drinking it would be, like bad, and not something that Paul would ever suggest... In the Bible itself, wine is sometimes used to clean wounds. Considering the varying quality of water at that time, a good idea. |

He's blind drunk on whisky awaiting his son and friends helping him to Heal It With Fire. After a comedy moment where first one, and then a second clansmen say "Here, you do it, [cauterise the wound with the poker], I'll hold him down!", Campbell asks Hamish to pour some on the wound first: "Pour it straight in the wound, boy. I know it seems like a waste of good whiskey, but indulge me." | |

As discussed by Chubbyemu, people who regularly make moonshine often risk poisoning with methanol, usually by inhaling methanol vapours or drinking the heads (the first part of the product to leave the distiller, which usually contains a large amount of methanol if not prepared properly); one of the cases featured involved a male patient who made his own moonshine, then drank it at a BYOB party, and while he seemed okay at first, since the moonshine he drank also contained a lot of regular ethanol, once that was expended the methanol in the heads from his still quickly metabolised into methanoic acid which made him go blind. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In "End of Days" while patching up the Potentials after a big battle, Andrew and Anya get a bottle of whiskey for this purpose, but end up drinking it themselves. Likewise in "Lovers Walk". Vampire Spike passes out dead-drunk after his break-up with Drusilla. He's woken up the next day when the rising sun sets his hand on fire, so he dunks it in a fountain and flees for his car, where he retrieves a bottle of bourbon among a pile of empties, drenches the injury causing him to shout in pain again, then drinks from the bottle. "This is just too much." |

In an episode of Burn Notice, Michael gets trapped in a bank robbery with Special Agent Bly. Bly goes cowboy and gets winged in the arm for his trouble, and Michael starts pretending to be a doctor. While treating Bly, he pours vodka over the wound both to disinfect and to punish him for being a jerk. | |

The Punisher (2017) In "The Judas Goat", Curtis uses alcohol to disinfect the gunshot and arrow wounds Frank Castle got in the previous episode, before operating on him. He hands the bottle over to Micro when it's clear Micro can't handle watching Curtis work. In "The Dark Hearts Of Men", after surviving a brutal fight with his former colleagues in a Neo-Nazi group, Pilgrim removes a packet of cocaine from one of their bodies and snorts it before his painful After-Action Patch-Up which includes resetting a dislocated jaw. Unfortunately this causes him to fall back into old habits. |

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, The Final Mission, Captain Picard and Wesley Crusher crash-land and are stranded on a desert moon along with the shuttle pilot. Picard confiscates an alcoholic beverage from the shuttle pilot, stating that it would be better used as an antiseptic and drinking it will only increase dehydration (correct, see the Real Life examples). | |
