Drinking alcohol makes some characters nicer than sobriety, often with large doses of melancholy. Large doses of maudlin sentimentality are common and may lead to declarations of "I love you guys." or tears.
Also termed a "happy drunk" (though drunkenness can also induce sadness) or "friendly drunk" as opposed to the "mean drunk" or "nasty drunk."
Sub Trope of In Vino Veritas. Can be Truth in Television because alcohol lowers inhibitions.

In Weak Hero, Naksung is usually pragmatic to be the point of being an asshole. However, it's revealed that he can't hold his drink and becomes much friendlier once he has some alcohol in him. Hwangmo takes advantage of this to get a favour out of him when they'd otherwise be at each other's throats.

City Lights had a character who was exceedingly friendly and generous when drunk, but tight-fisted and mean when sober. The fact that he also tended to black out and not remember what had happened when he was drunk adds to the confusion.

In Pygmalion, Eliza claims that her mother used to send her father off with drinking money so he'd come back home "cheerful and loving-like." She then adds that a lot of women have to get their menfolk drunk to be able to live with them. Unfortunately, this is while she's trying to pass as an upper-class lady.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Slughorn and Hagrid get drunk together at Aragog's funeral. This puts Slughorn in a much more relaxed mood (as well as ensuring that he wouldn't remember anything Harry said to him) so that Harry can question him about the covered-up memory.
