* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' has [[GargleBlaster Braindeath 'rum']], an incredibly toxic beverage that gives actual rum a bad name: it's brewed from such ingredients as stagnant water (collected from a dormant volcano), sluglings (young [[PuppeteerParasite sea slugs]]), blindweed (an inedible herb with a foul smell), and the corpse of a fever spider (a Slayer monster that is riddled with disease and infects its victims by biting them). For whatever reason, pirates across Gielinor are addicted to the stuff. Examining a bottle of 'rum' indicates that the stuff eats through the bottle, and drinking it has the game point out how the player character is trying very hard not to die.

'''Player:''' Riiiiiiiight...\\
'''Captain Braindeath:''' So ye see, we just call it 'rum' because the real name be a bit of a mouthful. Want a drop?\\
'''Player:''' No thanks... I think I'll skip it for now.
