Sometimes, a completely mundane substance is treated as if it had psychedelic effects and was highly addictive.
Compare:

Alien Catnip: Where mundane substances really are drugs to someone due to Bizarre Alien Biology;
Drunk on Milk: For drunkenness;
Evil Tastes Good: Which might involve a completely mundane substance like Turkish Delight magically being made addictive;
Fake High: When druglike effects are achieved through the placebo effect;
Fantastic Drug: When the "drug" doesn't even exist in reality;
Addictive Magic: Magic is a drug.
Drunk on the Dark Side/This Is Your Brain on Evil: Evil is a drug.
Frothy Mugs of Water: Where this happens because, originally, it was a drug, but was censored either to a more G-Rated Drug or a completely harmless substance;
G-Rated Drug: Where a Moral Guardian approved "soft" drug's effects are vastly exaggerated to fit a storyline that would otherwise require harder drugs to work.
High on Catnip: When a catlike character ingests catnip;
High on Homicide: When a person feels a tranquil intoxication from having just killed someone;
Intoxication Ensues: Where otherwise straitlaced characters accidentally ingest a drug, or too much of their prescribed meds, and Hilarity Ensues;
Marijuana Is LSD: Where marijuana's effects are highly exaggerated;
Mushroom Samba: Where characters "trip" on hallucinogens of some kind without meaning to;
Must Have Caffeine: Coffee is a popular target for this trope, and sometimes they go overboard.
Toad Licking: Where a character gets high by licking toads.

Clone High:
Raisins are used, which they roll and smoke, turning some students into flower children and causing others to go on a bizarre "trip". In a subversion, it turns out raisins don't get you high. It is all a scam by a raisin industry spokesperson to get people to buy them, and all the effects are psychosomatic.
In the pilot, Abe is forced to buy non-alcoholic beer for a party, but everyone acts drunk anyway. Of course, this happens in real life, if the drinkers don't know it's non-alcoholic. Even with regular beer, drinkers tend to act drunk long before their body actually gets the chance to absorb the alcohol.

Sluggy Freelance:
The MMORPG "Years of Yarncraft" is frequently treated like an addictive narcotic (how much that's Truth in Television is up to you.)
For Kiki the hyperactive ferret, a small amount of sugar is roughly equivalent to a large dose of crystal meth.

Bottom, Burglary. Richie ponders that the burglars are maybe looking for drugs, Eddie notes they don't have any - therein lies the problem as the burglars will continue to search in vain 'til sunrise. Thinking of an appeasement strategy, they try to think of the strongest thing throw down the stairs to make them go away. The best Eddie can think of is Lemsip (cold medicine).

The Simpsons:
One segment of the episode "Love, Springfieldian Style" parodies the Sid Vicious biopic Sid and Nancy, with Nelson as Sid Vicious and Lisa as Nancy Spungen. Since both characters are kids, they use chocolate instead of heroin (they freebase it over spoons, snort it like cocaine, and immediately flush it down the toilet when the police show up). The episode even has a deliberately Anvilicious "Only losers put chocolate in their bodies!" speech.
The Simpsons does the not-really-a-drug thing repeatedly: for example, Bart and Milhouse's syrup-only Squishee in "Boy-Scoutz in da Hood", or Lisa drinking the "water" on the Little Land of Duff ride in "Selma's Choice".
Krusty smokes ground-up moon rocks out of a crackpipe.
In "Sweet and Sour Marge", Springfield's addiction to sugar is revealed. Disco Stu even refers to it as "the white stuff".
Bart and Lisa go on a trip after eating highly potent English chocolate while in London...
The trippy episode where Homer eats "The Merciless Hot Peppers of Quetzalshacatenango, grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum", a.k.a. Guatemalan Insanity Peppers ("El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer").
Getting drunk happens a fair bit in the Simpsons, such as when the family goes to a milkshake carnival and Homer drinks so many he ends up drunk.
Bart tricks Rod and Todd Flanders into trying Pixie Stix by telling them they're sugar-free. He then cackles as they instantly get hooked.
In "Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens, and Gays", babies pass around pacifiers like bongs.
In "Days of Wine and D'oh'ses", Barney replaces its alcoholism with addition to caffé mocha. Of course Moe adapts to that change of habits.
In "The PTA Disbands" Lisa is shown to be addicted to being graded; she begs her mother for an A and builds a perpetual motion machine in order to get attention

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns has Megan react strangely when ingesting fish. This old lady, who sometimes feels her age, jumps up and becomes hyperactive, friendly and happy and even races out of her home like a little schoolgirl. After it wears off, she returns home very groggy and explains that she woke up in front of her barn, with no memory of how she got there. She might be aware of some of its effect on her, as she hates getting fish as a gift.

Twice Sunstone has shown what can happen when people let BDSM go to their heads. Ally and Alan neglected their collage work and turned their relationship into a competitive game of ego feeding. Ally even referred to herself as having been like an addict. Marion was so keen to convince Alan to go further with her she lost her job and neglected to properly consider the safety issues of self-bondage.

He also once said that he was "addicted to coke back in my wall street days". Cut to a flashback of him working at a video store (with a Wall Street poster on the wall), drinking a can of Coca-Cola, and giggling like a stoner.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose once dealt with video game addiction. In an abrupt about-face, the episode ends with the characters not demonising video games or even the playing of them, but saying what matters is how you approach them. They even give the "addicted" character a Game Gear after he proves he has control over his game playing habits by destroying all his video game material.
And in doing so instill in him a new, much harsher addiction to batteries, which those damned things went through like popcorn.

When Mac from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends has even the smallest amount of sugar, he enters an extremely hyperactive sugar rush wherein he behaves uncharacteristically selfish and irresponsible, and is willing to do anything for more, even walk around naked in public. The aftermath is treated like a hangover.
This example is Truth in Television, as sugar does have addictive properties and an extremely well-known tendency to make you hyper. Also, excessive consumption of sugar can induce a sugar headache.
On a similar note, Mr. Herriman's love of carrots is portrayed as this in "Crime After Crime." He even talks about Going Cold Turkey (yes, they actually say "cold turkey") at the end of the episode.

In The Dresden Files, the Little Folk (pixies) love pizza with a passion that is not rivaled by any in this world. Watching them devour it has been variously compared to Jaws and a school of piranhas. Harry Dresden pays them in pizza and in return they provide him with whatever services he asks of them. There are no drug-like effects aside from addiction — but a captured pixie who refuses to touch the stuff strongly implies there will be down the road. As Sanya puts it:

Rocko's Modern Life:
The show did the whole getting-drunk-on-ice-cream thing as well, at Filburt's bachelor party. Heffer even attempts to fly a plane while intoxicated.
Done also with Filburt's first taste of candy in the Halloween episode.
Rocko's nail-biting was treated like alcoholism, due to the disapproval and embarrassment of his friends and the difficulty he had quitting, which eventually required a 12-step program (in this case, involving a group of cartoonish critters who called themselves "The Twelve Steps").

Subverted in an episode of The Big Bang Theory where Sheldon, Howard and Leonard are attempting to build a quantum guidance system for the military on an impossible deadline which Sheldon arrogantly promised. Sheldon drinks a single energy drink and then begins acting as if he has a drug problem in a classic "innocuous item/substance humorously treated like narcotics" bit. However, when Leonard confronts him about wasting an entire day freaking out about a non-existent problem, Sheldon admits that he realised he's not smart enough to solve the math in the time they have and was deliberately looking for an excuse to not do the work.

Littlest Pet Shop (2012):
In the episode "Topped with Buttercream", the pets sneak into the sweet shop next door (owned by Youngmee's Aunt Christie) along with Aunt Christie's hyperactive pet rabbit Buttercream Sunday, and indulge themselves on all the candies, doughnuts, cookie dough, frosting, and other sweets in the shop's kitchen. They start to get sick and show characteristic signs of being on drugs, such as jitteriness and eye twitching. Penny Ling even starts hallucinating while on her sugar high. A while after they realize they've accidentally locked themselves in the pantry, the pets end up forming a crude tribe while still on their sugar highs. However, they eventually snap out of it.
The pets, except Pepper, become addicted to Mitzi's scents in "Sue Syndrome." Mitzi even describes her signature scent as making those who smell it "delirious." These six pets become hooked by those smells within hours. By the end of the day, they have become incredibly dependent on Mitzi and require smelling her aromas every few minutes to not go completely mad, constantly desperately begging Mitzi for more. This is unintentional on Mitzi's part, and she would rather not have her scents be so addictive.
Specifically to Blythe, her mother Betty's journal becomes very addictive for her to read in "Pitch Purrfect." Blythe will prioritize reading it above all other things, gets antsy and cranky if she is forcibly made to stop reading it, and even starts suffering from withdrawal if taken away from her. The addiction renders her unable to perform any task, no matter how simple, due to her overwhelming urge to continue reading the journal. Blythe eventually realizes she has a problem with it consuming her life, however, and snaps out of it by the end of the episode.

American Dad!:
In the episode "A Stan in the Hand", Stan masturbates for the first time and becomes addicted to doing it with his burn ointment, and acts like a crack addict (constantly twitching, scratching himself, etc.) when he can't get his ointment "fix".
There is also the episode "When a Stan Loves a Woman" where Steve gets addicted to an energy drink called "Cougar Boost" and he does whatever it takes to buy more, even going as far as selling his friends fake tickets to see Battlestar: Galactica on Ice. By the end, Steve's friends appear in his room and look like they are about to do an intervention, but instead they beat Steve up because they found out that the tickets were fake.

An episode of The Powerpuff Girls (1998) has the girls getting a single piece of candy as a reward for saving the day. They instantly get addicted and make a shady deal with Mojo Jojo to get more. When Mojo steals the candy himself, they beat him to an inch of his life over it, at which point they realize they have a problem.
Another episode has Mojo give some of the girls' classmates some Chemical X, which gives them temporary powers. When they run out, they go back to him and ask for more, willing to beat the Powerpuff Girls to get another fix.

Disney Ducks Comic Universe:
There are two Donald Duck stories of which the older about Donald's fixation with soda is a rather obvious parallel to alcoholism, right down to his loved ones staging an intervention, and sending him to rehab. And secret stashes of soda in the house. The newer shows Scrooge McDuck addicted to coffee, now with parallels to drugs.
In an older Carl Barks story, Scrooge McDuck is depicted addicted to nutmeg-tea; interestingly, considering the real, drug-like effects of large doses of nutmeg. As a (possibly unintended) subversion of sorts, he never cuts the habit but gets a fresh supply of the substance at the end of the story. According to Don Rosa's canon, he still keeps indulging in the stuff with the old enthusiasm.

The Strange Calls: One episode has some townspeople becoming addicted to a jingle, which causes them to become mowing-crazed violent lunatics. They go through severe withdrawal symptoms involving twitching and vomiting when separated from it. Many of the townspeople mistake them for being on ice (methamphetamines). The same episode also treats "Pocket Pets" (a Tomodachi-like video game) like an addictive drug.

The Colbert Report:
Spoofing the immense amount of media coverage Starbucks' three-hour nationwide shutdown received, Stephen Colbert did a segment in which he reacts to three hours without coffee by going into severe withdrawal. He physically attacks those around him, digs desperately through garbage cans for old Starbucks cups that he can burn and inhale, and, when Starbucks "finally" reopens, huddling naked in a shower stall and dousing himself in cup after cup of coffee.
The Cookie Monster confessed his addiction to Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report:

In Villain.net, Jake becomes addicted to the power Villain.net gives him. Literally. If he goes too long without it, he'll die. He even notes that he's just like those drug addicts his teachers would rant on about.

In the episode "Major Boobage", the concentrated urine that male cats spray in the presence of other male cats gets people high. This causes hallucinations of a fantasy world based on Heavy Metal, where almost everything looks like breasts. At the end of the episode, Kenny has rid himself of his addiction to cat urine, and is shown enjoying life. As he smells some flowers, Stan comments that he is getting high on life. When Kenny begins frantically snorting the flowers, Stan notes, worriedly, that he's getting really high on life. In South Park: The Fractured but Whole, "Cheesing" returns as a drug epidemic that turns the town into a Wretched Hive.

In Transformers: Prime Ratchet wants to help the Autobot cause. He injects Synth-En into himself to perform experiments and finds that it makes him strong and fast enough to engage in full battle. It also makes him far more aggressive. This works like performance-enhancing steroids and was made for a year when the UK was hosting the Olympics. Robot roid rage is NOT pretty.

Rocky from Lackadaisy has had an... interesting reaction to pancakes as a child. "I CAN SEE ETERNITY." Of course, having made this claim, the author goes on to posit that this may be incorrect, and it's just all the sugar he's getting from drenching them in syrup. Which is still this trope. He hasn't grown out of this by adulthood, as his sugar highs are shown as comparable to dropping particularly bad acid.

In First Wave, Cade literally rubs some salt in Joshua's wounds; he proceeds to get all dreamy about how nice Earth is and give the reasoning for his soon-to-be-revealed Heel–Face Turn. Cade is shocked at his state of mind, realizing salt is their heroin. In a later episode, we even see a Gua hunting down another in a back alley, where he has been hanging out with human heroin junkies feeding his addiction to salt.

Odd Squad: To resident alcoholic and Odd Squad Director Oprah, juice is her signature drink that she can't live without, having up to a thousand juice boxes on the daily before cutting back to one hundred in later episodes. When she is unable to drink juice, she begins to suffer from signs of alcoholism, slowly declining in physical health and appearance until she becomes what can best be described as a Technically Living Zombie. It helps that she ran a fruit stand prior to joining Odd Squad, where her partner Yucks Shmumbers invented the juice box to begin with. Surprisingly, juice isn't shown to be addictive to any other character, meaning that it's not the liquid itself that's alcoholic and that it being alcoholic is restricted to Oprah.

Originally Tweek, being 8 years old, was portrayed as being addicted to coffee in exactly this way, with his parents, who own a coffee shop, constantly encouraging him to drink it because they think it calms him down. In South Park: The Stick of Truth the truth becomes clear - his parents sprinkle Crystal Meth into the coffee they sell to attract business (customers complain that their coffee is dreadful but they can't stop drinking it), and encourage Tweek to drink it to test the quality. Tweek is entirely unaware of this and thinks it's just coffee.

In Transformers: Animated, oil is often treated as beer. The Constructicons try to get some of decent quality anytime they're not building anything, and Megatron even has his own "private blend" that he drank out of an oil barrel squeezed into the shape of a chalice. However, no one actually gets "drunk".
In a slightly more subtle drug analogy, the episode "Fistful of Energon" has the upgrade-craving bounty hunter Lockdown encouraging Prowl to try a few of his upgrades in order to catch Starscream. Prowl finds himself becoming dependent on them and despite his controlled, stoic nature he finds it hard to give them up again. Ratchet even comments that he's seen upgrade addiction before in other younger mechs.
However considering Lockdown pries his upgrades off of online bots, that might be more G-Rated cannibalism; and for Prowl and Bumblebee it's more about pride and irresponsibility.
In the original series, episode "Microbots", the Deceptions "over-energized" on Energon and act drunk.
In Transformers: Prime Ratchet wants to help the Autobot cause. He injects Synth-En into himself to perform experiments and finds that it makes him strong and fast enough to engage in full battle. It also makes him far more aggressive. This works like performance-enhancing steroids and was made for a year when the UK was hosting the Olympics. Robot roid rage is NOT pretty.
Also in Prime, Megatron has a bad habit of doping on Dark Energon, which causes increased aggression, decreased rationality, and psychological dependence, among other more supernatural side effects. It gets to the point where he swears off of it to avoid falling prey to said supernatural side effectsnote e.g., Grand Theft Me by Unicron... and then jumps right off the wagon the moment things start getting difficult because, well, he's addicted.

One of the characters in The Legend of Dick and Dom has a one-episode addiction to gingerbread; we don't see her actually intoxicated on it, but she hoards it, denies she has a problem, gets withdrawal symptoms when her friends take her stash away, obsessively hunts for more and finally starts seeing people as giant gingerbread men and dreamily chewing on them.

In Freaks and Geeks, all of the Freaks get 'drunk' off of nonalcoholic beer. Lindsay's little brother has switched a keg of alcoholic beer for nonalcoholic beer under the influence (haha) of anti-drug assemblies from school. This is Truth in Television though since the people drinking the nonalcoholic beer don't know it's nonalcoholic, resulting in the placebo effect.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In the "Over a Barrel" episode, there's a saloon called "The Salt Lick" that apparently serves... salt licks, judging from the bartender's comment when he tosses an apparent drunk out.
Then again, in part one of the pilot, Twilight Sparkle pours what looks like an alcoholic beverage into a glass, especially judging by her expression.
And in "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000", much winking and nodding is implicitly made about the nature of the ostensibly soft cider, especially considering the presence of fanon-drunkard pony Berry Punch.
In "28 Pranks Later", Rainbow Dash's joke cookies are depicted as having strong addictive effects, first by Pinkie Pie who gets sick and starts to become demanding of more cookies, and then by the whole town. Subverted in that it's just an elaborate prank.

In The Dark Tower novel The Drawing of the Three, when Roland gets food from our world, he is surprised that the sugar-laden Pepsi is legal since it is so pleasurable. He considers it strange that anyone would want drugs like heroin, which Eddie is addicted to, when sugar is 100% legal, since Eddie buys the Pepsi in plain view of the police. This is Fridge Brilliance because sugar does indeed activate the same pleasure receptors as heroin (and pure sugar is flat out unknown in Roland's world).

The Looney Tunes Show:
Subverted when Bugs Bunny starts drinking the soft-drink Spargle: he becomes incredibly manic and goes crazy trying to get more when his stash runs out. But it turns out Spargle's not just a soft-drink; at the end of the episode, the makers of Spargle get arrested for secretly putting "dangerous, highly addictive chemicals" in their product.
In "Bobcats on Three!", Bugs gets addicted to Porky's catering when the latter switches to his grandmother's old recipes. This is because all the dishes call for a large amount of butter and very delicious, but unhealthy in large doses. Bugs starts going out of his way to throw parties just so Porky can cater and doesn't admit he has a problem until he causes a tidal wave and empties out a public pool when he saves Daffy from drowning.

Codename: Kids Next Door
Root beer is treated as regular beer, complete with age restrictions, prohibition-era-style speakeasies that serve it, and kids drinking it at keg parties.
There's also the episode "Operation: L.I.C.O.R.I.C.E." where Numbuh Five and Black John Licorice have an all-out drinking match to the death! Did we mention that the drinks of choice are frothy mugs of pure sugar? To the death, indeed... of your blood sugar level, that is!
In "Operation: S.P.A.N.K.E.N.S.T.I.N.E.", Numbuh Two reveals in a voice-over that he used to be addicted to chocolate sauce.

South Park:
Originally Tweek, being 8 years old, was portrayed as being addicted to coffee in exactly this way, with his parents, who own a coffee shop, constantly encouraging him to drink it because they think it calms him down. In South Park: The Stick of Truth the truth becomes clear - his parents sprinkle Crystal Meth into the coffee they sell to attract business (customers complain that their coffee is dreadful but they can't stop drinking it), and encourage Tweek to drink it to test the quality. Tweek is entirely unaware of this and thinks it's just coffee.
In the episode "Major Boobage", the concentrated urine that male cats spray in the presence of other male cats gets people high. This causes hallucinations of a fantasy world based on Heavy Metal, where almost everything looks like breasts. At the end of the episode, Kenny has rid himself of his addiction to cat urine, and is shown enjoying life. As he smells some flowers, Stan comments that he is getting high on life. When Kenny begins frantically snorting the flowers, Stan notes, worriedly, that he's getting really high on life. In South Park: The Fractured but Whole, "Cheesing" returns as a drug epidemic that turns the town into a Wretched Hive.
In "Guitar Queer-O", Stan goes from playing Guitar Hero at superstar quality to playing Heroin Hero, a game which consists of injecting heroin and chasing a dragon (which cannot be caught). He thinks it's awesome but rapidly becomes addicted, ending up looking like a pathetic junkie waste, while his skill at Guitar Hero goes down the drain from lack of sleep and practice, and his attitude deteriorates. It rapidly ruins his 'career' as a Guitar Hero player and results in him fouling up an important game in public, then throwing up and passing out on the 'stage'.
An episode lampshades this by treating KFC as an addictive substance, complete with withdrawal, rehab clinics, dealers, cartels, and an eventual chicken war. Hilariously, the episode started with the local KFC being replaced by a medical marijuana dispensary, and the massive influx of crime was blamed on marijuana prohibition being too lenient.

There are also drinks that are quite obviously "adult beverages," but are always referred to as Cold Ones. Or perhaps Cool Ones on a mild spring day. This makes Coach Z's addiction to Listerine all the more baffling/humorous. Well, there is alcohol in mouth wash, of course.
There's also the Strong Bad e-mail "caffeine," where Strong Sad starts buzzing on the titular chemical. The kicker? The coffee he drinks is Sanka, a decaf brand. Who knows what kinda damage would have been done if he'd drank anything stronger.
The strangely mellow kids show "Characters From Yonder Website" turns out to be the result of the characters drinking expired "Smarty Juice" and hallucinating.

Characters in Young Blades are occasionally shown getting extremely high on coffee. In one episode, the royal doctor convinces the king to ban coffee due to its harmful effects, suggesting that people "indulge in some harmless stimulant like tobacco" instead.

Family Guy:
One episode had Stewie become addicted to pancakes.
Another episode has a Cutaway Gag featuring the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street eating cookies in rehab. Later in the episode, Lois finds the Cookie Monster in a bathroom heating cookie dough like it was heroin.
Yet another episode had Chester Cheetah snorting up ground up Cheetos like cocaine while listening to Rush and proclaiming "there is no fucking drummer better than Neil Peart!" before smashing a glass table with his fist.
And who could forget Mort Goldman's bizarre addictions? Antihistamines can apparently make you think you're Mr. Peanut, and olives are highly addictive narcotics that make you wither away into a tall, cut, deep-voiced parody of yourself. "What has happened to you, Mort Goldman?"
Then there's that episode where Peter gets addicted to Red Bull... and the results are quite something to behold. And this is before we get on to Peter's hilariously poor knockoff consisting of kerosene that he ends up making and then drinking after Lois junks his supply. Yeah.

The genie in King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow is addicted to mints and acts drunk when he's eaten too many. At the end of the game, you can give the genie a mint leaf, which makes him accidentally kill himself.

Frasier:
The episode "Roe To Perdition" treats caviar as an addiction. Frasier and Niles become dealers (even considering buying inferior caviar and "cutting it with the good stuff"), while Roz turns into a strung-out fish-egg addict. Parodied at the end where the Caviar smugglers turn out to be DVD smugglers.
Another episode has Niles purchase a brownie stuffed with marijuana, but after a mix up he eats a plain one while his father gets the spiked one. He acts stoned but is largely confused by his father's odd behavior.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch had "Pancake Madness," an episode where Sabrina gets hooked on pancakes (it's explained that no one in the Spellman family can eat them due to this weakness). Highlights include Sabrina trying to make her own pancakes in the middle of the night, binging on pancakes at school and ballooning to a massive size, and trying to sneak off to "a twelve-step meeting at Howard Johnson's." The episode also made specific references to drug abuse: going off of pancakes was expressly called "detox," and one of the side-effects of that detox was bizarre hallucinations (in Sabrina's case, a musical number about eating pancakes and a giant talking syrup dispenser named Mrs. Mapleton bringing her to the "International Pancake House" to eat the breakfast forever). At the end of the episode, Sabrina breaks her addiction, but comments that she'll always want pancakes, and will have to take things "one day at a time."

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers:
Monterey Jack has an ongoing addiction to cheese and immediately goes into a bizarre trance whenever he sees or smells it (it's one of the show's running gags), then goes after it, unaware of humans (or anthropomorphic animals) trying to capture him. It's the center of the plot in "Mind Your Cheese and Q's" (probably the only 1980s-1990s "addiction episode" that wasn't Anvilicious, as Monterey Jack immediately breaks his promise not to overindulge in cheese ever again and the other members accept it) when he tries to give it up.
Dale has a similar reaction to chocolate in one episode, which Monterey Jack finds disgusting.
