* ''Winners Don't Use Drugs'' is the name of an anti-drug slogan that was included on all arcade games imported into to North America from 1989 through to the year of 2000. The message appeared during the attract modes of both video games and on some pinball machines. It was established by FBI Director William S. Sessions with an agreement with the American Amusement Machine Association. By law it had to be included on all imported arcade games and continued to appear long after Sessions left office. The quote normally appeared in gold against a blue or black background between the FBI seal and Sessions' name.
** Hilariously parodied in the [[Scott Pilgrim (video game)|Scott Pilgrim game]], with the message altered to "Winners Don't Eat Meat"
* [[Penn and Teller Bullshit|Penn Jillette]] doesn't object to alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs, in fact, he advocates legalizing them. He also never misses an opportunity to remind people he's never used them. Whether comes off as [[Useful Notes/Objectivism|some grand proclamation of philosophical fortitude]] or just a disclaimer from an opinionated person who's never experienced drugs first hand, [[Your Mileage May Vary]].
* [[Ted Nugent]] has been known to be patronizing towards alcohol and drug abuse. Then again, [[Soapbox Sadie|knowing Ted and his views and reactions towards supporters of gun control, veganism, and so on]], would you expect anything less?
* Real-world reversal: Crucial Youth were a straight-edge send-up that parodied the movement and regularly gave the audience a good clean with the Youthbrush.
