The consumption of alcohol has many effects on a person, one of which is the lowering of inhibitions. It can make a person feel more confident in their abilities, eliminate self-consciousness and doubt, and just plain make things seem less frightening. As a result, some people will consume alcohol in a deliberate attempt to bolster their courage before doing something they consider scary or intimidating. The fearsome event can be anything from relatively minor (giving a speech) to potentially embarrassing (getting naked on stage) to life-altering (proposing marriage) to life-threatening (actual combat); the key to this trope is that someone (usually the drinker) feels the anticipated event warrants the alcoholic aid. Occasionally, the booze is provided by someone else who thinks it will be helpful. See subtrope But Liquor Is Quicker where the drinking is used specifically to prepare for sex-related activities. Compare Drunken Master (when drinking actually makes them stronger) and Booze-Based Buff (booze in a video game strengthens your player character in some way). The explanation of Bottled Heroic Resolve may not be that it actually gives the drinker extra strength, but this trope instead, overlapping with Magic Feather in the process. Contrast Drowning My Sorrows (in which a character drinks to forget something that makes them feel sad or depressed), I Need a Freaking Drink (in which a character consumes a stress-reducing drink after the event, not before) and In Vino Veritas (in which a character speaks their thoughts a little too openly when drunk). A dark side of this is the Alcohol-Induced Idiocy. This is probably one of the Oldest Ones in the Book; it's often called "Dutch courage" after an old synonym for gin (which originally came from the Netherlands) or, in humorous pseudo-intellectual fashion, "pot-valiancy". Truth in Television that alcohol takes away your inhibitions and anxieties; except that it also weakens your performance of whatever you're getting up the courage to do. Just remember your drinking limits, and avoid driving or operating machinery. Not to be confused with the Let's Play series of the same title. |

In Tripping Over You, this overlaps with Drowning My Sorrows: Milo knocks back a drink when he thinks his love interest Liam has started dating someone else; when he realizes he's misunderstood, he decides to seize the moment and confess his feelings. Not without consequence, since he infuriates Liam by kissing him in a public lavatory, but it does catalyze their Relationship Upgrade. | |

Heralds of Valdemar: In Closer to Home, King's Own Herald Nikolas dies and the role is passed to his daughter Amily—but then Nikolas is brought back via CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable. The King and his whole council are in such a tizzy over the unprecedented situation of having both a current and former King's Own at once that Mags has to go bursting into their meeting to loudly point out how excellent the situation turned out. Before he does, he downs a "tiny glass of distilled spirits" to bolster his courage enough to shout at the King. Later in the same book, the servants of one of the Feuding Families at the center of the plot make plans to go attack the other family's servants. Mags knows he's got a bit of time to break up the fight before it starts, because of the attackers' need for "beer-balls" before they start the brawl. |

Fallout 76: The Wendigo Colossus can utter piercing shrieks that can scare the player characters, causing them to run uncontrollably in a random direction. However, there is an item (which actually is called "Liquid Courage", funnily enough) that makes you immune to it for a short time. If you can stockpile it, you can make the superboss fight against Earle Williams much easier. | |

The Simpsons: In "The Lastest Gun In The West," elderly cowboy actor Buck McCoy drinks from a flask of whiskey when he realizes that he's going to be performing in front of a live audience for the first time in decades. He ends up relapsing entirely. A Treehouse of Horror Couch Gag which has all the couches and chairs of Springfield killing people, Moe chugs down a whole bottle of liquor before taking on his entire bar. Averted in another episode, "Days of Wine and D'oh'ses", where Barney thinks he needs beer in order to fly a helicopter to save the children, but Homer convinces him "You have to be sober for this". In "Jaws Wired Shut" Marge, out of boredom, enters a demolition derby, she quickly realizes she is in over her head and the family tries to figure out how to rescue her. Bart grabs a beer and feeds it to Homer who then rescues Marge while someone else's theme music is playing. |

Charles Joughin, the same person mentioned above, managed to keep himself alive long enough to be rescued by chugging a flask of brandy as the ship went under. He's is seen doing this on the sinking stern in Titanic (1997) and is one of the people who manages to ride it down, although his survival is not depicted in the film. One amateur historian joked that Joughin had made it his task to make sure that the Titanic went down with as few bottles of booze as possible. | |

In the game Eternal Darkness, Edward Roivas keeps casks of the stuff in his basement, because it helps keep him calm when dealing with the cyclopean nightmare-city under his house. During gameplay he keeps a flask on him, and drinks from it when he needs to deal with the weird happenings, but doesn't have time to rationalize or analyze it like he normally would — which he knows would just drive him insane anyway. The player can acquire some of it, which is called "Liquid Courage" and restores Sanity. | |

The Highlander episode, "Courage", dealt with wan Immortal named Brian Cullen. He was regarded by many (including Duncan) to be the best swordsman around, to the point where he was constantly being challenged by Immortals AND mortals. By the mid-late 1800's, he cracked and turned to drugs and alcohol to get through life. | |

Inverted with Iku, who is more reluctant to engage in painful activities than she normally is. |

On The 100, a Grounder takes a swig of moonshine before trying to cross a field being hit by sniper fire. That gives Octavia the idea to throw the moonshine into a fire, creating a smokescreen to hide them from the sniper while they dash across . . . but not before Octavia takes a swig herself. | |

Supernatural In "The Girl with the Dungeons & Dragons Tattoo", the eponymous girl has been recruited to break into the Big Bad's office, but starts to Freak Out and says she can't go through with it. Suddenly Sam and Dean realise that Ghost!Bobby has snuck his hip flask into Charlie's bag (his spirit is bound to the flask, so he can accompany her in). When they point this out, Charlie assumes they're referring to this trope and takes a big swig. In "Free To Be You And Me", Dean hauls Fallen Angel Castiel off to a brothel to lose his virginity. When a blonde prostitute saunters up and introduces herself as Chastity, the terrified Castiel immediately downs a glass of beer. |

Discworld: Obliquely referenced in Witches Abroad, where in a The Wizard of Oz spoof, Granny Weatherwax says of Magrat that some witches need a little more brainnote As the Scarecrow wanted; Magrat counters that other witches need a little more heartnote As the Tinman wanted; Nanny Ogg, however, considers that what she needs is a drinknote The Cowardly Lion wanted "courage," but Nanny apparently prefers it in liquid form. In The Last Continent, Lovable Coward Rincewind becomes a lot more cheerful and optimistic after a few pints of Ecksian beer. At one point, he even has to get slightly drunk so he can figure out how to get his fellow wizards out of a "knot" in time and space. In Carpe Jugulum, Nanny Ogg tells Agnes that vampire hunters get roaring drunk before setting out, both to encourage themselves and to prevent Mind Control (if their own minds are muddled, the vampire can't control the person entirely). |

The Big Bang Theory: Raj, who is unable to speak in the presence of a girl, becomes a regular Casanova after a few drinks. In this case it is more of a psychological thing, as it works when he has a non-alcoholic drink and doesn't realize it — when told, he clams up automatically. In "The Pants Alternative", Sheldon is preparing to give a speech in acceptance of an award he is receiving, but is too scared to do so. Penny suggests that he drinks some wine to calm his nerves. Unfortunately, Sheldon drinks too much wine, and the speech goes downhill from there... |

Pictured above is Yor Forger from SPY×FAMILY, who finds herself needing to down something when she's about to do or say something emotionally difficult (like get kissed by her husband or tell him she'll withdraw from their fake marriage because she thinks he's involved with another woman), but it never quite works out the way she intends, because what she ends up doing under the influence isn't what she planned to do. Largely because she's a featherweight. | |

When Iron Man was going through the most severe stages of his alcoholism, he would sometimes drink before battle, stating that it helped his resolve. Obviously, this was seen as denial. In one comic in the Ultimate line, a teammate incredulously questions why he's drinking right before a battle, and Tony quips that there's no way he'd get into that armor sober. | |

Subverted in Hellboy Animated: Blood and Iron. As Dr. Bruttenholm is cornered by the vampire Erzsebet Ondrushko, he pulls out a hip flask and motions like he's going to take a drink. Ondrushko mocks him for needing alcohol to steady his nerves in his last moments. Bruttenholm responds by flinging the contents of the flask at her: it's full of holy water. | |

Warhammer Fantasy Battle: Once per game, the Bretonnian Character Gui le Gros can share his huge flagon of extremely potent liquor with the rest of his unit. This makes them immune to Panic for the rest of the fight, but also afflicts them with a penalty to their attack rolls because they're so drunk they're unable to shoot straight. Centigors roll a die before each match to determine whether they go into battle drunk; if they do, they gain the "Stubborn" rule, making them less likely to break and run when stuck in difficult combat. |

No stars in sight: By the time Ikharos and the Exo Stranger catch up to Formora in Chapter 8, she has already helped herself to some wine and is full of what Ikharos identifies as "liquid courage". Formora demonstrates this by not caring that they can see her partially nude, and acting noticeably haughtier (and snarkier) than before. Also, when Ikharos explains that he's immortal, she reacts by holding a knife to his throat and offering to test his claim, something that she would never even think of doing while sober. | |

Murdoch Mysteries: Near the end of "The Murdoch Sting", Inspector Brackenreid advises Crabtree to make an effort to win back Dr. Grace's affections. Murdoch is in the room, and after Crabtree leaves, he declares he too will take the inspector's advice and (in his own case) propose to Dr. Ogden. Murdoch then goes to Brackenreid's decanter, pours two glasses (one for himself and one for his boss), and quickly downs his own drink. It turns out he probably needed that drink, since Julia refuses him before can finish due to threats against their lives. | |

In the M*A*S*H episode, "Alcoholics Unanimous", after Frank banned alcohol from the camp, he asked Father Mulcahy to give a temperance lecture and made attendance mandatory. Mulcahy was so nervous beforehand, Klinger poured him a drink (the good father had a bottle in his tent, a gift from a soldier for "a successful confession"). He probably wound up having several, as he was clearly drunk during the lecture. | |

Tintin: Captain Haddock doesn't need booze to fight capably, but can go Leeroy Jenkins when drunk. In The Broken Ear, Tintin is framed as a revolutionary, sentenced to be Shot at Dawn and shares a bottle with the officer in charge to steady his nerves. Tintin gets so drunk he ends up shouting the praises of the revolution before the firing squad (who by this time have also gotten themselves too drunk to shoot straight). He's rescued Just in Time by the revolutionaries who've just taken over; they are so impressed with Tintin's bravery he's promoted to aide-de-camp of the new generalissimo. Waking up the next day with no memory of what happened, Tintin is understandably confused. |

One night, before their operation, he tries to set the girls free and give them a chance to reach the mainland. They smell alcohol on his breath. He was either trying to drown his conscience or taking Liquid Courage. Either way, when Dr. Franklin catches them leaving the compound Skinner gets right back in line. | |

In the Katawa Shoujo fic Lilly Epilogue Family Matters, a subtler version of this is applied. Lilly has between two and three glasses of wine when her parents visit for dinner, and Hisao notices that she's more confident than usual in dealing with her father when he suggests that she return to Scotland. When her Berserk Button has been pressed by her father insulting her boyfriend Hisao and her best friend Hanako, she calls him out on it, and after he says he raised her better than to put words in his mouth, she angrily yells “YOU HARDLY RAISED ME AT ALL, YOU BASTARD!!� | |
