* In ''[[VideoGame/ChoiceOfGames Choice of the Vampire]]'', the player character can choose to specify that they enjoy feeding on drunks because the intoxication is carried through their blood, giving it a certain flavour.

* One strip in ''WebComic/VampireBites'' had Rantz and Chloe biting a citizen who had just left a coffee shop and was drinking a pumpkin spice-flavored beverage which in turn transferred to her blood much to their amusement.
* According to ''Blog/WhatIf'', [[https://what-if.xkcd.com/98/ drinking enough blood to get drunk would cause problems]] preventing you from drinking that much blood in the first place.

* A variation occurs in the ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' episode "The Problem with Popplers". After [[EvilOverlord Lrrr]] (an alien king from the planet Omicron Persei 8) is persuaded to spare Leela's life, [[NewAgeRetroHippie Free Waterfall Jr.]] insists that humanity should pay for eating the Popplers (the larvae of Lrrr's species). [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor So Lrrr just eats him instead]]. Lrrr then tries to make a speech to the people of Earth, only to get too high due to consuming traces of psychedelic drugs that were inside Waterfall's body.

* In his first solo series, ComicBook/{{Morbius}} feeds off a man who just used drugs and ends up tripping balls. Time slows, he can't think straight, then he gets shot in the leg and is distracted by [[MushroomSamba how beautiful the blood seeping from the wound looks]].

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'': A vampire hypnotized Superman and went to drink his blood. Unfortunately for the vampire, drinking the blood of a solar-powered Kryptonian acted something like eating an explosive.
* One iteration of ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' villain Brother Blood could drink the blood of others [[PowerParasite to take their strength for himself]]. He immediately retches after trying this on ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} and swallowing the synthetic oil that runs through his veins.

* In Creator/ChoiceOfGames's ''Choice of the Vampire'', the player character can choose to specify that they enjoy feeding on drunks because the intoxication is carried through their blood, giving it a certain flavour.

** Faith also sedates Angelus by taking a near lethal dose of a FantasticDrug, then tricking him into feeding on her. The next episode consists mostly of their resulting shared hallucination.

* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'': The Wraith are basically vampires InSpace who feed on life energy rather than blood. The Hoffans develop a drug that immunizes humans who take it and kill Wraith that feed on it, though the side effects are almost as lethal to the humans.
* The page quote comes from the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "School Hard" when Spike is introduced. He ridicules another vampire for claiming he was at the Crucifixion by pointing out how many vampires make that claim and saying it would have been like Woodstock if they were all telling the truth. He then says he was actually at Woodstock and this trope happened to him.
* ''Series/{{Dracula|2020}}'': She didn't do it on purpose, naturally, but Zoe's cancer causes her blood to be poisonous to Dracula.

* The ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'' episode [[Recap/TalesFromTheCryptS3E7TheReluctantVampire "The Reluctant Vampire"]] defies this. Donald, a vampire, normally drinks the blood stored at the blood bank where he works as a security guard and alters the records not to show missing inventory. One day, he discovers that the manager took the records home and now he has to replace the blood. He finds a mugger and is about to take his blood when he asks if he's an IV drug user, has any blood born illnesses, or has recently had dental surgery. When the mugger says no to all three, Donald takes his blood. [[spoiler:When Sally asks him to make her a vampire, he goes to bite her, but stops and asks if she's [[BrickJoke had recent dental surgery]].]]

* In ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'' and ''TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem'':

* In the ''Literature/MorganvilleVampires'' novel ''Carpe Corpus'', this is tactic is used to defeat [[spoiler:the vampire who's taken over the town, Bishop]]. His rivals intentionally poison themselves, so that when he drinks said blood as part of a public execution, he gets infected and severely weakened as a result of obtaining the poison.

* One iteration of ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' villain Brother Blood could drink the blood of others [[PowerParasite to take their strength for himself]]. He immediately retches after trying this on ComicBook/Cyborg and swallowing the synthetic oil that runs through his veins.
