* There are multiple Spoof Aesop warnings against the evils of alcohol:
** "Uncle Bob was a Green Beret in Vietnam and his helicopter got hit. He had to crash land in enemy territory and all he had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a machete. He drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then he landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. He killed seventy of them with the machine gun until he ran out of bullets, then he killed twenty more with the machete till the blade broke and then he killed the last ten with his bare hands." So what's the moral of the story? Don't mess with my uncle when he's been drinking.
** An instructor teaches a lesson about the evils of liquor by setting up an experiment that involved a glass of water, a glass of whiskey, and two worms. The worm dropped into the water squirms about unharmed, the worm in the whiskey glass writhes in pain, quickly sinks to the bottom and dies. So what lesson can we derive from this experiment? Little Johnny wisely responded, "Drink whiskey and you won't get worms!"

* Too many James Thurber stories to count.
* A footnote in Terry Pratchett's novel ''<s>Faust</s>Eric'' explains, "Interestingly enough, the gods of the [[Discworld|Disc]] have never bothered much about judging the souls of the dead, and so people only go to hell if they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is important to shoot missionaries on sight."
