'''UEAKCrash:''' I was actually very drunk for most of it.

'''Kip:''' Alright.

 

A work which is subject to this trope was made, at least in part, under the influence of drugs stronger than caffeine.<ref>Quite honestly, if we included caffeine, we'd have to list just about ''every'' work created in the West for the last few hundred years, and for several centuries further back in the East.</ref> Ironically, a work subject to this trope doesn't necessarily ''look'' like it was written on drugs, and [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|some works that ''do'', weren't]].

* [[Henry Kuttner]]'s series of stories about Gallegher. He's a [[Gadgeteer Genius|genius inventor]] for hire, but can work only while very drunk, and is really good only on the right sort of alcohol at that. The problem with this is that [[What Did I Do Last Night?|Gallegher is unable to remember what he did while drunk]]. And his approach tends to be so far out of the box that the hard part is figuring out what his new toy does and how this can possibly do the intended job - or is it something he built for fun (which can be ''even more'' arcane and roundabout) and there's another device somewhere else. Most of the plot is the process of self-investigation - once he hears the request again, thinks about it, studies his invention again... but this takes a while, and not all the clients are patient, especially since most people deal with a drunk genius only if quite desperate. It gets worse if he takes several requests, because he tries to find a solution for several at once - which may end up in [[Mad Scientist]] grade weirdness - but does not know ''which'' job(s) it performs, if any.

* Anything in the least bit creative manifested by [[Reality Warper|anyone under the effects of the Reality Pill]] in ''[[The Butterfly Kid]]''.
