{{quote|''"Never drink any drink with a [[Umbrella Drink|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."''|'''Mustrum Ridcully''', ''[[Discworld/Hogfather|Hogfather]]''}}

 

Contrast with [[I Drank What]], when someone drinks something that's not supposed to be drunk ''at all.'' Compare/Contrast with [[Unsuspectingly Soused]], when someone drinks a '''Gargle Blaster''' ''without realizing it's alcoholic'', and [[A Tankard of Moose Urine]], when beer is just bad without excessive (or necessarily any) alcohol content.

* A commercial from 8TV Malaysia's early days involves a skit where a tea lady offers all sort of strange concoctions which everyone except the sane nerd of the office orders. The tea lady then explains that 8TV is different from the other channels, and the sane nerd, still a little unconvinced, ends up ordering wasabi tea.
