** The Drink is so strong that [[AlcoholIsGasoline pouting a shot glass of it inside of a car's empty fuel tank makes it go]] at [[NitroBoost nine hundred miles per hour]].



** [[SitcomArchNemesis Jim]] tosses a shot-full of the Drink inside of Bob's car's fuel tank, and the car gets drunk. It races at nine hundred miles per hour[[note]]a pretty [[NiceJobFixingItVillain big "whoops" factor]] for Jim[[/note]], Bob [[DrivesLikeCrazy can't control it]], and the engine does the occasional AlcoholHic.

* '''Played For Drama''': Bob dies or is permanently incapacitated because of The Drink. The bar that served The Drink shuts down because of negative publicity and his death/incapacitation leads to a widespread crackdown on dangerous alcoholic beverages.

** The outrageously combustible properties of the Drink are showcased early on [[ChekhovsGun so the audience will know what happens]] when Bob fills a dozen {{Molotov Cocktail}}s with [[StuffBlowingUp the Drink]] as part of the LockAndLoadMontage.


Added DiffLines:

** The Drink is demonstrated to have a very highly explosive/combustible factor so we will know what [[ManOnFire will happen to Bob]] when he spills some of it on himself and lights up a cigar… a case of "spontaneous human combustion" that will kill Bob and about a dozen other people.

** In a show that has already [[ShownTheirWork showcased it did its research on cocktail mixing]], the utterly absurd list of disparate ingredients and steps to mix The Drink that would result in a pint full of liquor-laden sewage in real life will make the bartenders in the audience guffaw.

** The Drink contains mundane, if extremely strong liquors (ex, rum, ever-clear, absynthe, or moonshine), strange mixers (rattlesnake venom), or garnish (sichuan buttons, a natural aenesthetic equivalent to a srynge of novacaine). It might even contain the normally toxic methanol (makes you go blind and die), which is counteracted by ethanol (makes you [[WhatDidIDoLastNight do]]/[[InVinoVeritas say]] dumb things and throw up).
