* In {{VideoGame/Borderlands The PreSequel}}, Janey Springs has a way to get you past the ObstructiveBureaucrat "Customs-Trap" that stops all entrants to Concordia. She gives you an object called an "Orbatron", and as soon as the robot holds it he starts acting stoned and no longer cares what you do. In the DLC campaign "Claptastic Voyage", you meet the regular Claptrap's Id within his mind, who requests several debaucherous items to amuse itself with, including an Orbatron.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Machinarium}}'', when the main character, Josef ends up in a jail cell with another robot, he has to make a cigarrette for the robot to help him get out. We don't see the effects, but the robot ends up so engrossed that it doesn't even notice when Josef unlocks the cell door after breaking out.

* {{Implied}} in the Franchise/{{Tron}} franchise, with establishments like the [[Film/TronLegacy End of Line]] club, the Internet hub's [[VideoGame/TronTwoPointOh Progress Bar]], and the unnamed club seen frequently in WesternAnimation/TronUprising where Programs are seen drinking and relaxing like humans would in a nightclub. A DummiedOut part of VideoGame/TronTwoPointOh even had Jet questioning an ''extremely'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N-Ajbf7r0w intoxicated Program]].

** In "The Last Day", when the Dwarfers organise a farewell party for Kryten before he shuts down due to planned obsolescence, Holly creates a special drink for him, apparently including Vimto and liquid nitrogen, to have the same effect as alcohol. Lister wants to try some, but Holly tells him it's lethal to humans.
--->'''Holly''': In fact, it's probably lethal to mechanoids, to be honest, but I didn't think it mattered seeing as ... oh.

* In one of the ''Literature/CaptainFuture'' novels by Creator/EdmondHamilton, Otho the android (might not be a quite straight example; he's apparently made of artificial flesh) drains a bottle of GargleBlaster to no visible effect while undercover... and then asks for wine with radium chloride. This time, the radiation does get him intoxicated.

* At the end of ''[[Literature/TheStainlessSteelRat The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted]]'', the victory party has everyone drinking, except for the resident AI, who has a robot pour some electrolyte into a dry battery. It starts slurring words very quickly.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Nine}}'', number 8 (a.k.a. TheBigGuy) puts his magnet close to his head in order to enter a state of bliss.

* During Marvel's Secret Empire event an A.I. copy of Tony Stark considers aloud making the digital equivalent of alcohol for him to drink.

* The [[MineralMacGuffin Chaos Emeralds]] in the ''WebVideo/RealTimeFanDub'' of [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 the 3D]] [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic games]] are repurposed as drugs, with the green one explicitly being referred to as marijuana. In one scene, Rouge hands the green Chaos Emerald over to Omega.

Note that this trope includes only examples of AI experiencing direct analogues to humans getting drunk or stoned. Examples of AI acting strange because of breakdowns or corruption are [[NotAnExample not examples]].

** In "Beyond a Joke", Kryten's fellow Series-4000 mechanoid Able is addicted to a pink liquid called Outrozone, which has degraded his CPU.

* In ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' the AI of a space station is able to [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2133 get drunk via emulation]] (to socialize with a real drunk person). He mentions (drunkenly) that all of the critical systems are running on an autonomous subsystem, so nothing was hurt. Earlier Pintsize and some of his friends got high by huffing WD-40, and intentionally installing [[MushroomSamba glitchy graphics drivers as a hallucinogen]] in a separate instance. Later [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3071 May got herself drunk at a party by downcycling her processor.]]

* In ''{{Stellaris}}'' Synthetics (sentient robotics) are still subject to the effect of Atmospheric Aphrodisiac and Atmospheric Hallucinogen. Synthetics in any leadership position can also acquire the [[DrugsAreBad life-shortening]] "Substance Abuser" trait just like any organic species (though it has no effect on them as robots are immortal).

->"Bender Rodriguez, you are charged with petty larceny, possession of something analogous to drugs, and assault with a smelly weapon. How do you plead?"
