** Something of a [[Broken Aesop]] in this case since the bad effects ''weren't'' caused by the beer; they were caused by a magic potion that happened to be administered via the beer. Possibly this sequence is why the [[TV Tropes]] anon-edit password used to by "foamy".
** In the sixth season, there is an entire [[Anvilicious]] plot arc about Willow becoming addicted to magic. Unlike the other two examples, this is an entire arc that has quite a significant impact.
* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "[[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S3 E3/E03 Gridlock|Gridlock]]" involves a virus that mutated from an incredibly addictive drug named "Bliss", which wiped out a whole city.
** This is particularly egregious, as the Doctor and Martha both decide the Mood drugs are bad before they even know they have any negative side effects. The Doctor bafflingly announces that he's going to shut down an entire street of Mood vendors, and Martha tells off a pregnant woman for wearing an Honesty patch. Obviously they're bad, as they're, y'know, drugs innit?
** On that note, [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8616413.stm unearthed] [[Word of God]] from [[The Sixties]] describes [[The Nth Doctor|regenerations]] "as if [the Doctor] has had the LSD drug and instead of experiencing the kicks, he has the hell and dank horror which can be its effect". No wonder why he might suffer from regenerative trauma after the process.
