"Pink Elephants" is a common way to refer to alcohol-related hallucinations. The term was originally coined by Jack London — himself a famous drinker — in his autobiographical novel John Barleycorn. It is now widely used to refer to any sort of alcohol-related hallucinations — even those that don't involve elephants of any color. (If a work has someone hallucinating actual pink elephants, it's probably a comedy exercising the Rule of Funny.) What the stereotypical hallucination is likely to be varies culturally; drunk Americans tend to see pink elephants or snakes, Germans see white mice, and Russians have green imps. In Real Life, alcohol-related hallucinations are most commonly associated with "the DTs" (delirium tremens), which is a withdrawal symptom experienced by severe alcoholics, not a direct effect of the alcohol itself. In fiction, however, it's common to suggest that extremely strong drink will cause people to see hallucinations. There is a grain of truth to this—severe alcohol poisoning can cause hallucinations. But this is rare. Except in fiction. A subtrope of Mushroom Samba, which covers hallucinations caused by drugs in general. May overlap with Marijuana Is LSD, which is about unrealistic depictions of drug effects. Compare with Single Malt Vision, where alcohol affects sight, but does not cause actual hallucinations. Should not be confused with literal pink elephants which can occur in Real Life as a result of albinism. A drunk character who sees them may mistake it for this trope, causing that character to swear off drinking. Can combine with You Have to Believe Me! or Crying Wolf (if the drunk person routinely claims to see pink elephants, and now there's one in the person’s backyard). |

In Aleksis Kivi's Seven Brothers, Eero describes Simeoni having talked about one-inch-tall men swarming around him during the return part of the alcohol-rich trip to the city. Days later, when Simeoni is finally found in the forest, he claims that he has seen Lucifer himself, as they flew together to the Moon, where he foresaw the end of the world from a tower built out of boot leather, after which he fell back down to Earth. | |

Pale: This is an actual role for certain goblins -commonly called a Tod- they try to cultivate a look that could be dismissed as a drunken hallucination by the soused individuals-commonly called Barneys- that they manage and use as agents to wreak havoc and have interesting adventures with. When the barneys finally wake up from their binge they'll simply remember/interpret the Tod as a Drunken hallucination. | |

The Simpsons: When the town is accidentally dosed with peyote, The Alcoholic Barney is able to drive off his threatening monster hallucinations by consuming enough liquor to summon a friendlier pink elephant hallucination. Curiously enough, said pink elephant looks exactly like the ones seen in Dumbo. In another episode, Barney is beating on the ground, yelling "Take that, snakes!" Lenny compliments him on rehearsing for Whacking Day (where the townsfolk whack snakes). Barney's reply: "What's Whacking Day?" In yet another episode, Moe tells Homer that he just got Barney back on the sauce and is afraid Barney might lapse back into sobriety. Barney assures Moe that his "sponsor" won't let that happen. Invoked in a Halloween Episode where aliens come to Earth and Homer sees them land; they make sure Homer isn't believed by spraying him with rum to make people think he hallucinated the whole thing. In "The Springfield Files" Homer sees what he thinks is an alien while going home from Moe's bar. The creature he saw was real (though it was actually just Mr. Burns) but nobody believed him. Invoked again with the Duff Days beer festival in "Pygmoelian", where pink helium balloons shaped like elephants are available for sale. Homer buys a balloon for Maggie, but it gets loose and floats into a meeting of Log Cabin Republicans who are trying to choose a logo. |

The Lost Weekend has a particularly terrifying use of this trope, as Don hallucinates a bat swooping in and eating a mouse in the wall. Unlike many films, which have people seeing their Pink Elephants during their drunken binges, this one gets it right, and has Don seeing his mice and bat after his spree, when he's going through withdrawal. | |

Looney Tunes: "Calling Dr. Porky" has a patient being harassed by a band of pink elephants. It is implied that Daffy Duck had been out boozing in "Daffy Duck Slept Here" as he's the only guy in the room who sees Hymie the kangaroo. Roommate Porky Pig is most doubtful. In the Merrie Melodies short "A Day at the Zoo", flying pink elephants make up one of the exhibits. The narrator calls them "some things left over from that last New Year's party". Yet another cartoon ("Hobo Bobo") has the young elephant Bobo trying to get to New York from India, and told that the best way to sneak onto the ship is to paint himself pink. Because nobody will admit to themselves that they're seeing a pink elephant. It works, but it turns out to work a little too well once he gets to the city. The short "Punch Trunk" features a tiny elephant that wanders around the city, causing mass panic. But when a drunk sees it, all he says is "You're late" and wonders why he isn't pink this time. |

In Discworld, a possible side effect of drinking scumble is seeing hairy green spiders coming out of the walls. Numerous creatures of this type are part of the unwanted retinue of Bilious, Oh God of Hangovers. Played With in Mort, when one elephant gets drunk, and someone mentions that he's probably seeing pink humans. Detritus also sees giant hairy spiders in Feet of Clay after performing a Fingertip Drug Analysis. |

World of Warcraft: One village in Outland contains pink elekks, which are only visible to drunk characters. During Brewfest, pink elekks can be seen by drunk people around the major cities. The American players gets some quests for them, but these are removed in the European version, apparently for legal reasons: having a whole festival about getting drunk is okay, but letting this lead to hallucinations is prohibited because it somehow glamorizes drug abuse. |

After they display a significant increase in performance (read: being capable human beings), Decoy reports it to Liquid Snake.

The Pink Panther: In "Pink Pajamas", the Panther needs a place to sleep and crashes for the night in someone's home. When the occupant, three sheets to the wind, comes home and encounters the panther, he immediately calls his A.A. sponsor in panic. "Pickled Pink" had a sloshed reveler mistaking the panther as one his D.T.-fueled visions and invites him to stay at his place provided his wife doesn't find out. |

In one episode of De Generaal, the eponymous general has his latest Doomsday Device disguised as a wooden horse, prompting a drunk to complain, "What's in this rotgut they sold me? When I'm drunk, I wish to see pink elephants! Or blue ones, I'm an open-minded guy. But not two Santas riding a wooden horse!" | |

In James Joyce's (in)famous novel Ulysses, there is a chapter called Circe that's 150 pages long, written as a playscript, which almost entirely consists of drunken hallucinations. These include William Shakespeare as a ventriloquist dummy with antlers, two floating Oxford professors with lawnmowers giving Stephen advice, Bloom's grandfather appearing to talk about sex, a nightmarish Kangaroo Court, a Power Fantasy that lasts more than thirty pages but takes up less than a second of real time, and a Gender Bender hallucination in which Bloom turns into a prostitute and is raped. This is a classic work of literature, everyone. | |

Brad Wong, the Dead or Alive series' token drunken fighter spends all of DOA 3 and DOA 4 searching for a mystical wine called "Genra". At the end of 4, he actually does find it. His ending video shows him drinking it and tripping hard, though this may just be to represent his euphoria upon finally finding the liquor of legend. | |
