History Main / GargleBlaster

* Roleplay/{{Celestial Refresh}} features Infected Mage. It was created by infamous (both in roleplay and his own universe) SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} and some other guys. Key note that it's FATAL to the most of humans. This includes human-equal race representatives. For record, [[HealingFactor Deadpool]] hardly manages to down five of them. That's considering that he came through [[BroughtDownToNormal the Multiversal Drain]], but he [[GotTheCallOnSpeedDial got better]] ([[BetterThanNew and even stronger]], I suppose).

* Shinji tries some Noverian Rum in ''Fanfic/AlphaAndOmega'' which is completely non-alcoholic until it comes into contact with saliva which causes it to ferment rapidly. He declares it to be some form of chemical weapon then asks for another.

* In IDW's line of ''Franchise/TheTransformers'', there's [[MeaningfulName Nightmare Fuel]]. It's described as being able to push a warworld into hyperspace, and it requires protective equipment just to handle the bottle. For a Cybertronian. There's also the time Ultra Magnus is slipped some Weapons Grade Nucleon by Whirl and passes out - it is implied that Whirl drinks it himself much more easily.

->''"Never drink any drink with a [[UmbrellaDrink paper umbrella]] in it, never drink any drink with a humorous name, and never drink any drink that changes colour when the last ingredient goes in."''

* [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Xander's]] coffee in ''[[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-22755-13/CrazyDan+Awaken+Sleeper.htm Awaken Sleeper]]'' is noted as being pure expresso. After drinking some [[Series/{{Smallville}} Lex Luthor]] claims he can see his own pulse and according to Clark [[NoodleIncident the one time he had some, he nearly vibrated through a wall]].

Contrast with IDrankWhat, when someone drinks something that's not supposed to be drunk ''at all.'' Compare/Contrast with UnsuspectinglySoused, when someone drinks a GargleBlaster ''without realizing it's alcoholic'', and ATankardOfMooseUrine, when beer is just bad without excessive (or necessarily any) alcohol content.

* In one bit, PattonOswalt talks about the Guinness in Ireland, which he describes as tasting like a "cupcake and [[InsubstantialIngredients handjob]] smoothie". He goes on to say, "You don't even realize you're getting drunk, until two hours later, when you're punching a fire hydrant."

** ''Fanfic/ShadowchasersAscension'' introduced some drinks that consumed by devils (who cannot get drunk from alcohol, due to their supernatural anatomy, and need to consume magical substances to experience intoxication). Rank and file devils drink gughalaki, which is compared to very strong rum, and delivers "a powerful, nearly hallucinogenic punch". Upper class devils, including the BigBad Jalie Squarefoot, drink [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Demon's Blood]] from wine glasses, the equivalent of fine wine to the aristocracy of Hell

** [[Fanfic/{{Shadowchasers}} The original fic introduced viperwine, a type of whiskey made from Indian pit viper venom, which is ''lethal'' to anyone except reptilian Shadowkind. You need a special permit to sell it legally.

A common scene involves a character (often a CloudCuckoolander) downing an entire GargleBlaster and suffering ''no'' ill effects, causing everyone else in the room to be thoroughly confused. Someone else tries it, because obviously it must be weaker than it's supposed to be, and ends up with the usual effects.

* ''Fanfic/{{Bait and Switch|STO}}'' has the "Hathon hammer", a cocktail made from bloodwine (a Klingon liquor twice as potent as whiskey), kava juice, and kanar (a Cardassian liquor). It's described as being tasty, but like its name says it hits you like a hammer.

Beware of anyone who has this as their DrinkOrder.
