Suddenly Sober	comment	A couple of characters are engaging in a night of heavy drinking, possibly at a bar or Wild Teen Party. After a series of wildly hilarious shenanigans that would only be engaged in by the very intoxicated, possibly summed up as a Binge Montage, the characters need to have a Very Serious Conversation. Luckily, they become Suddenly Sober and can speak all the plot-relevant dialogue that will advance the story exactly as required, without once spotting a pink elephant or declaring "I love you, man... no, no, but, you... I love YOU, man." Suddenly Sober is the moment in a movie or TV show in which a drunken character suddenly transforms from a word-slurring, sidewalk-tripping, projectile-vomiting mess to a highly-coordinated, quick-thinking, somehow enlightened (and much more sober) version. This could be brought about by some sort of crazy action sequence, a sudden realization, or any other sort of device that moves the plot along. Usually results in uncannily clear thinking or cat-like reflexes, depending on the situation. This trope can also apply to characters who are high, tweaked, etc. and suddenly sober up.

Suddenly Sober / int_247422c7	comment	In the Honor Harrington novel In Enemy Hands, Admiral Thomas Theisman is driven to drink once he realizes that Honor, whom he considers a Worthy Opponent, is going to be abused and murdered on trumped-up charges for propaganda purposes. When the half-mad propaganda minister who ordered it comes knocking on his door, he uses a medical device to sober up, with extremely unpleasant side effects. It's left ambiguous as to whether the side effects in question stemmed from the sober-up device, or what State Sec planned to do to Honor.

A group of upper-crust white folk do not remove their pants and get down to "Brick House" when mildly tipsy. However, a scene later that very night has the hosts perfectly sober, and nary a hangover the next morning. And how did they drive everybody home that night? However, the movie is such a mess in the editing department that this seems to be just another oversight.

Revy and Rock have an impromptu drinking competition in a Bad-Guy Bar, and both of them are looking extremely sloshed - then a bunch of mercenaries shoot up the place with heavy machine guns and grenades, and they all have to crawl to safety and drive to safety - which they accomplished without so much as a hiccup. Perhaps justified for Revy, since she's a top-grade Action Girl and all-around badass, but Rock is just a Japanese salaryman who gained his alcohol tolerance from getting dragged out drinking with his superiors all the time.

Suddenly Sober / int_9e2f90f4	comment	Happens in One Piece during the Skypiea arc, when the Straw Hats are attempting to go to Skypiea despite having been jeered and thrown out of Mock Town for bringing it up. Later on, the town drunk, while relieving himself in the harbor, finds newly-delivered copies of the latest updated pirate bounties, and sees Luffy's and Zoro's bounties; despite his drunken state, he remembers that Luffy's bounty was earlier revealed to be 30 million berries, lower than local thug Bellamy's 55 million, and casually dismisses Luffy and Zoro as weaklings for having been beaten up by Bellamy's gang (though actually, Luffy and Zoro chose not to fight back). Then he manages to count off the number of zeroes on Luffy's new bounty paper, sees that it's 100 million berries...and promptly snaps back sober with a very frightened expression on realizing what kind of people Bellamy chose to pick a fight with. The drunk slowly sobers up over the course of like ten panels, or maybe thirty seconds in-universe time. On the other hand, when Nico Robin drops the bomb on Neptune about having read the Fishman Island Poneglyph, he goes from absolutely smashed to stone-cold sober in the time it takes her to say three words. Kaido of the Beasts is extremely drunk when Luffy first confronts him. Luffy proceeds to lay into Kaido with the most powerful moves he can unleash on him. It fails to do anything to Kaido except sober him up and make him mad.
