Drugs Are Bad, mmmkay? Except when terrible addictions to horrible drugs are Played for Laughs, often using a character who is Immune To Drugs. These characters should be long since dead due to the vast amount of drugs and/or alcohol they take, but since their wacky antics must go on they rarely suffer any serious or lasting medical problems from them, aside from being insane, and quickly recover from them. It's almost like a superpower in some cases. Aside from the physical effects, the character will rarely encounter any financial difficulties in supporting their habit, except as a plot point, even if they have no apparent job or other source of wealth. Sometimes used when the character in question is poisoned, in which they show no ill effects. Because it's funny. Often used in this manner to break the Drama or establish the character as Immune to Drugs. There is also a second variety where characters from Sci-Fi and fantasy media are literally immune due to their race, a body augmentation, or some kind of Green Rocks. That overlaps with Never Gets Drunk. A common distinguishing characteristic of a Gargle Blaster is that it can get this type of character drunk. Can easily become a Charles Atlas Superpower due to Rule of Funny. |

In Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman was exposed to Scarecrow's fear toxin three times, and each time, he demonstrated Heroic Willpower by fighting it off, even when Scarecrow gave him an extra dose the third time. Scarecrow notes that the amount of toxin Batman had ingested throughout the game should've been enough to drive ten men insane. | |

Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas take a ludicrous amount of drugs during a multi-day bender. They get pretty wrecked, but survive without any apparent physical damage. The characters were stand-ins for Hunter S. Thompson and his friend Oscar Zeta Acosta, whose real-life drug intake during the period was mostly likely only embellished slightly. | |

X-Men: Wolverine is a smoker who cannot contract cancer. Wolverine once drank 25 beers and didn't even get a decent buzz. Wolvie's not technically immune to alcohol, he just sobers up a lot faster. He's become absolutely smashed on the really hard stuff, but beer? He's over the first one before the second one gets cracked open. This is also why the cigarettes he smokes don't hurt him much. (When his regeneration factor was briefly suppressed after Magneto yanked the adamantium out of him, he started coughing and getting sick from them, and in one issue, threw them away in disgust. Fortunately, that problem got better quickly.) Quicksilver can also get drunk, if he drinks a lot really fast. Then he sobers up in 30 seconds and gets a 30 seconds hangover. He might as well not bother. Exiles notes this as being true for Mimic, who has a half-powered version of Logan's healing factor. It apparently was something of a problem when Mimic and his reality's version of Logan engaged in some sorrow drowning - they needed a "Herculean" amount of alcohol just to get buzzed. |

Subverted by Charlie in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The hard-drinking, glue-sniffing loon scarfs down some brownies spiked with downers, saying, "I can handle my sedatives." To the amazement of his friends, he's still standing hours later, but he's in a drugged-out fog, muttering gibberish. By the end of the episode, he's passed out and drooling. Zig-Zagged, though, in that he ate the brownies meant for everyone in the bar. They were actually worried he would have been killed by this. | |

The Simpsons: Barney. It's been lampshaded, including several references to a failing liver (including a gag on "The Joy of Sect," in which Barney sees a discarded liver on the floor of an airport bar and thinks that his liver tried to escape—again), and no appearances in the "future" episodes. Krusty, by his own description, has become so jaded and world-weary that the only drug that affects him anymore is freebased ground-up moon rocks (and all that does is get him to normal). The real walking pharmacy on the show, though, is Otto. Aside from being a run-of-the-mill pot smoker, he's also shown in "Father Knows Worst" buying model kits and glue, then dumping the kits as soon as he's out of the store, he walked out of a kitchen cutlery store called "Stoner's Pot Palace" due to "flagrant false advertising," his urine is so full of traces of illegal drugs that it barely has any actual urine in it and looks like a scene from Yellow Submarine. The "best" part in all of this: he drives the schoolbus!! The episode where Otto loses his license and Skinner takes over driver duty quickly shows that in order to not go utterly insane, he needs to be high as a kite all the time! The full list of what was found in Otto's urine sample: |

Jeff Hardy. A total of four Wellness violations with WWE; a drug raid on his home produced a laundry list of narcotics, leading to his ongoing drug trial (including one charge of opium trafficking) and was the subject a humiliating on-screen feud with CM Punk over his drug habits. Still has legions of fans and gets loads of offers of work. A notable exception was Victory Road 2011 where he turned up drugged as fuck, and got his ass kicked by Sting in under 90 seconds. | |

The title characters of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, especially Fat Freddy Freekowski, pretty much subsist on large quantities of psychoactive drugs.

Ozzy Osbourne. Apparently now he's just on coffee, but at this point he probably doesn't need them anymore. He eventually had his genome mapped, so scientists can figure out why he and others like him can survive what they do themselves. Really! Turns out he's a mutant, possessing some mutations that allow his body to filter drugs much more efficiently than most people. It explains a lot, doesn't it? This has also lead to some funny incidents with hospital staff, according to his autobiography: | |

Evolution is a Worm and Starcraft crossover wherein Taylor's powers essentially turn her into the Queen of Blades. As a Zerg hybrid her adaptive physiology means she very quickly becomes immune to anything she's exposed to. After becoming immune to alcohol and recreational drugs she moves on to casually chugging antifreeze and drain cleaner. When she's injected with a tranquilizer cocktail consisting of an immune-suppressing bioweapon, a slew of Tinker-made designer drugs, and enough synthetic opioid to overdose a whale, it's enough to get her high for about 10 minutes and still keep fighting. | |

Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo! is immune to all forms of toxins, including alcohol. She can shut this immunity off if she wants to get drunk (which is a common occurrence), but doing so requires a sustained conscious effort. Which means that if she gets too drunk to maintain her concentration on suppressing the immunity, she'll instantly sober up again. This is actually even more justified... she doesn't need to eat, has no sense of taste, and is part nanoculture. Please note, this is only in the first series, where she was a creation of Washu. In Tenchi Universe, these abilities no longer apply, though she still drinks enough sake to kill a bear. | |

Godot in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations drinks up to 17 cups of coffee in court (and who knows how many more during the rest of the day) with no ill effects. It doesn't seem to be making him jittery or anything (rarely even scalded!). At one point, the judge admonishes him that he is going to ruin his health, but the situation is that his health is already ruined thanks to a deadly poison that didn't kill him, and he apparently needs the coffee to keep him going the rest of his short remaining lifespan.... | |

In Alpha Protocol, the arrest report for Konstantine Brayko (provided you left him alive) mentions he had enough cocaine in his system to, quote: "Make a baleen whale see Jesus". He shows absolutely no negative effects of this, and you can have the resident Heroic Comedic Sociopath spike his coke with rat poison and all it will do is make his drug-fuelled rampages slightly less imposing. | |

Novas in Aberrant usually metabolize drugs too fast to experience the effects, although weaker individuals can make up for it with volume. There are also super-powerful synthetic drugs available that would generally kill a normal human, including an extract from the brains of slain Novas. The fluff in the core book says that a Nova would need large quantities of industrial ethanol to get drunk, which would taste horrible. | |

Graham went sober for good before filming Monty Python's Life of Brian because he'd be playing the lead role. Since he was also acting as the on-set surgeon (Chapman was licensed to practice medicine before going into comedy), he has to be sober and focused to act in that capacity as well. His long-time partner, David Sherlock, mentioned that Graham was going through two liters of gin a day before quitting. | |

According to the medical report in Thunderball when James Bond is not engaged in strenuous duty, he consumes half a bottle of spirits between 60 and 70 proof a day. And he smokes 60 cigarettes a day (of a higher nicotine content than standard cigarettes). In fact, a medical journal analyzed Bond's alcohol consumption and found that "The level of functioning as displayed in the books is inconsistent with the physical, mental, and indeed sexual functioning expected from someone drinking this much alcohol." | |

Pickles on Metalocalypse, due to his frequent use of (all) drugs in the past, and having been on "government weed" since the age of six (for his "kiddie glaucoma"), is immune to "Totally Awesome Sweet Alabama Liquid Snake", the mind-destroying drug created to reprogram the minds of Pickles' old band, Snakes-n-Barrels, in a plan to use them to get to Dethklok. Doctor Rockso is powered by cocaine. C-C-C-C-COCAINE!!! |

He is Made of Iron and notoriously unkillable, so much that being thrown into the Grand Canyon while on fire didn't even slow him down enough for the packs of assassins that were sent down after him to finish the job. However, the burns that cover his entire body do cause him agonizing pain, and because he is such a tough bastard, no healing or pain-relieving chems work on him. | |

Wolverine is a smoker who cannot contract cancer. Wolverine once drank 25 beers and didn't even get a decent buzz. Wolvie's not technically immune to alcohol, he just sobers up a lot faster. He's become absolutely smashed on the really hard stuff, but beer? He's over the first one before the second one gets cracked open. This is also why the cigarettes he smokes don't hurt him much. (When his regeneration factor was briefly suppressed after Magneto yanked the adamantium out of him, he started coughing and getting sick from them, and in one issue, threw them away in disgust. Fortunately, that problem got better quickly.) | |

The protagonist in System Shock 2 can use alcohol to regain health at the cost of psychic energy. Subverted in that smoking just drains your health with no benefit. Since psychic abilities aren't a requirement in any way (many perfectly viable character builds won't even touch them), downing bottles and BOTTLES and BOTTLES of hard alcohol not only won't even make your vision blurry, but can save you from death! | |

Cyborgs in Ghost in the Shell (Major Kusanagi's a full body cyborg, essentially a Brain in a Jar in a Fem Bot body; Batou's heavily augmented and has the same ability) can filter alcohol straight out of their system to sober up. In the first movie, The Major switches this off so she can actually get drunk on beer though. In Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, the Major isn't shown to eat out of any kind of necessity while Batou's heavy augmentation is shown by his need to eat rather bland-looking (and assumed to be disgusting to normals) cyborg food. | |

In Warbreaker, by the same author as Mistborn, having additional Breaths (fragments of souls that can be moved from person to person) grants a wide variety of perks, including resistance to drugs and poisons. This particular boon tops out at the Fifth Heightening (somewhere around 2,000 Breaths), at which point the resistance reaches the point of total immunity. The quasi-divine Returned get a single "Divine Breath" that's so powerful it grants the first five Heightenings all on its own. Lightsong's high priest repeatedly informs his master that he cannot get drunk, to which Lightsong cheerfully replies that he can sure try. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: In Edition 3.0 and later, a character with enough levels in the Monk class becomes effectively immune to toxins, which means that they are effectively immune to any intoxicating substances like alcohol or recreational drugs. Same with the druid class and possible numerous other non-core ones. Note that the Drunken Master prestige class has as prerequisites both Monk-specific class features and nights of drunken revelry with a mentor Drunken Master. Your character must be a monk still capable of getting drunk to become a Drunken Master. |

Withnail and I: Withnail is shown drinking roughly nine and a half glasses of red wine, half a pint of cider, two and a half shots of gin, six glasses of sherry, 13 glasses of whisky, half a pint of ale and a shot of lighter fluid. And he also does pot. When offered a drug whose street name is "The Embalmer," he replaies, "Balls. I'll swallow it and run a mile." There's a supposed Drinking Game where the player drinks everything Withnail drinks when he drinks it, with something else substituted for the lighter fluid. It's unlikely that anyone who has even attempted the game has actually completed it. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Vorta are immune to most poisons due to genetic engineering by the Founders, a fact demonstrated when Weyoun takes a swig of poisoned kanar in "Ties of Blood and Water" — he detects the poison, but isn't otherwise affected by it. In "Little Green Men", Quark is given multiple injections of sodium pentothal and the only effect is the Ferengi squealing in pain from the needles. |

Grim Fandango, true to its Film Noir roots, has everyone chain-smoking. But since everyone is already dead... This is humorously lampshaded in the manual, ("Think about it.") possibly to pre-empt any Moral Guardian complaints. One puzzle also involves drinking some liquor with gold flakes in it in order to trip a metal detector. It does have some... effects on Manny, but apart from that puzzle making him drunk it's pretty useless (though amusing). |

Pam from Archer. In The Papal Chase, Woodhouse accidentally injects two syringes full of heroin into her neck, with no noticeable effect at all. She's recently taken to using enough cocaine and amphetamines to keep a medium-sized city high for several days, and aside from a brief cardiac arrest (that also doesn't faze her), it hasn't affected her behavior in the least. To a lesser extent, Archer, himself (though mostly with alcohol). He insists on "tapering off" because he's certain the combined hangover if he doesn't will kill him. (Which is Truth in Television; detoxing completely and immediately from alcohol if one has been consuming it regularly in large enough doses is a bad idea). And then there's his mother, Malory. When hit in the neck with an Instant Sedation dart, her response is annoyance at the person who shot her and sip of her cocktail. |

Mass Effect 2: After getting rebuilt by Cerberus, Commander Shepard exhibits some drug immunity. While Shepard can (for instance) still get drunk, it takes a lot more than usual to knock him/her out (as in: krogan liquor), and s/he twice wakes up despite sedatives that were supposed to keep him/her down for a lot longer than they did. At one point, Shepard gets dosed with poison that's supposed to be lethal, but wakes up a couple hours later with a bad headache as the only side effect. Krogan are highly resistant to most forms of poison and drugs, due to their resilient biology (they have several back-up organs and probably more than one liver). To get drunk, they resort to a mixture called ryncol, which has been known to cause those who drink it to set off radiation alarms afterward. To put this in perspective, in the Citadel DLC, Grunt (a krogan) gets arrested for stealing a burning police car and crashing it into a noodle house. He explains that he threw his (nearly full) bottle of ryncol at the car and it spontaneously combusted. Grunt was also so drunk (from only a small amount of ryncol) that he thought stealing the burning car was a good idea. And that's the only stuff that will put down Shepard. Of course, Grunt's also the physical equivalent of a teenager and chronologically less than a year old, so he'd probably be a lightweight by krogan standards. |

Alcohol in BioShock allows Jack to regain health, and drinking a lot makes your vision blurry. So if you're low on health and find a lot of wine.... It also reduces the level of available EVE you have...unless you have the appropriate gene tonic, in which case it produces extra EVE instead, meaning that with Boozehound you are well and truly this trope. |

The Flash (2014): In the episode "Plastique", Barry discovers, to his chagrin, that his hyper-accelerated metabolism means that his body processes alcohol way too fast for him to even feel a buzz. He downs half-a-dozen shots in less than a second to demonstrate it. At the end of the episode, Caitlin mixes him up a potent 300-proof shot that does give him a buzz... for less than 5 seconds. She promises to work on the problem. Hmm. Guess that's what her Ph.D. is for: getting the fastest man alive drunk. | |

Fallout: The Player Character can be a downplayed example in the first two games through the Chem Resistant trait, which reduces the chance of getting addicted to a drug by 50%, but also means that the effect of the drug only lasts for half as long. There's also an inverse trait, "Chem Reliant", where drugs affect you for twice as long, but you are twice as likely to be addicted as well. Taking both traits is a fun way of accomplishing absolutely nothing with maximum effort. The latter games in the series, however, turns Chem Resistant into a perk, removing the downside (with "Chemist" be the perk equivalent of "Chem Reliant"). The Old World Blues to New Vegas add-on adds the Logan's Loophole trait, which makes you immune to chem addiction, but caps your level at 30. As with other traits, you can change it with the upgraded Sink Auto Doc, and you get another perk anyway in the add-on which boosts your addiction resistance, stacking with Chem Resistant. Joshua Graham in Fallout: New Vegas. He is Made of Iron and notoriously unkillable, so much that being thrown into the Grand Canyon while on fire didn't even slow him down enough for the packs of assassins that were sent down after him to finish the job. However, the burns that cover his entire body do cause him agonizing pain, and because he is such a tough bastard, no healing or pain-relieving chems work on him. Ghouls are also a downplayed example as well. Chems like the post-War Jet, an extremely addictive chem that acts like methamphetamine, barely affect them as the mutation that made them ghouls heightened their senses. Unable to get off of jet, Ghouls mix jet with sugar found in Sugar Bomb cereal or Nuka-Cola and detergent or even Flamer fuel to refine the chemicals and create a more potent high. Fallout 4 allows you to become immune to both drug and alcohol addiction, letting you shoot up/drink every recreational chemical in the wasteland without consequence. Survival mode, does however add the potential problem of getting a disease from all the drug use. |

Exiles notes this as being true for Mimic, who has a half-powered version of Logan's healing factor. It apparently was something of a problem when Mimic and his reality's version of Logan engaged in some sorrow drowning - they needed a "Herculean" amount of alcohol just to get buzzed. | |

Karen from Will & Grace.

In Heat Guy J, Daisuke is immune to drugs and poisons, because he takes an herbal mix every morning to stave off food poisoning, as he eats most of his meals at a ramen cart. This is one reason why Clair's Truth Serum did not work on him. (The other being that Daisuke doesn't let the Angst he's faced bother him.) | |

The Gua hybrids in First Wave are built to be stronger than regular humans and immune to our diseases and, presumably, our drugs. But they get completely stoned on table salt. Which is in everything we eat. Presumably, it's only when they ingest pure salt, like from a packet. The first time it's discovered, Cade is pouring salt on Joshua's open wound to try to interrogate him. It does get Joshua to open up, but not the way Cade intended. He also finds out that Joshua is on his side. | |

Pretty much everyone in X Japan. While alcohol and drugs contributed to the deaths of hide Note X Japan had a technique that involved a doorknob and towel to take care of any shoulder pain. hide is thought to have attempted to do this, passed out, and accidently hung himself. and Taiji both, it took something other than the drugs themselves to kill both (a Noodle Incident involving asphyxiation for hide, likely murder for Taiji) and to this day, Yoshiki Hayashi and especially Pata seem to be genuinely immune. (In fact, there is a Running Gag that Pata doesn't have alcohol in his bloodstream, he has blood in his alcohol stream.) | |

Bender from Futurama who, as a robot, is actually fuelled by booze. In a "what if?" episode, where he is turned into a human, his habits become worse and he dies of massive overindulgence. Bender develops the typical symptoms of a wino when he doesn't drink. In older episodes, he's seen getting drunk on alcohol, but this is no longer canon. Apparently, he can also power himself with nice, clean, mineral oil, similar to becoming a vegetarian. Hilariously, Bender "grows" a Beard of Sorrow made out of rust if he doesn't drink enough. Lampshaded by Fry. | |

Homo drakensis from Drakon have extremely fast metabolisms, one side effect of which is that they metabolize alcohol so quickly it's almost impossible for them to get drunk.

Father Jack Hackett from Father Ted who is always drinking but never dies — even after drinking floor polish, toilet cleaner (once drank a bottle of Toilet Duck), and a whole bottle of illegal sleep medication. He is apparently only sober every twelve years. Subverted: "I suppose sobriety for Father Jack must be like taking some sort of mad hallucinogenic." Whilst sober he can't see properly with single-vision. Usually able to spot a Nun, he has to be told a Nun is standing right in front of him. Subverted again, when we discover one of the few things Jack can't stomach: |

Averted in Soulbringer, with ale and wine. Ale comes in mugs, and heals you...two or three hit points apiece. And lest you think you can stack these, around four or five mugs is when the vomiting (and health loss) starts. Thardolin red wine is even worse; probably because you chug the entire bottle, a single serving makes the screen wobble and your movement wonky (with no health gain), and a second will have you throwing up. | |

Space Marines of Warhammer 40,000 are generally immune to normal drugs due to their modifications, Fenrisian mead might be an exception, though, considering a Space Wolf once claimed it would give you a hangover "like continents colliding." This one is actually explained in one of William King's Space Wolf novels: there's actually a chemical in Fenrisian mead (at least the variety served in the Fang) that shuts off the organ that grants Space Marines their immunity to drugs. It's specifically so they can get drunk. | |

Spider Jerusalem from Transmetropolitan, though he gets a rather horrible neurological ailment that makes him even more unpredictable, and is eventually likely to turn him into a vegetable — but that is caused by the one "drug" that he didn't take voluntarily. He lives in a future where you can change your species and smoking won't kill you as long as you take the appropriate medication. It should be relatively easy to repair any damage caused by drugs and alcohol. Even then, regenerative medicines don't reduce drug effects; his editor Royce recalls the one time he found Spider in a bathtub bound with healing tape and desperately trying to find a vein because all the other ones had collapsed. Spider Jerusalem is modeled after Hunter S. Thompson, who was this trope as well. See Real Life below. |

The Doctor in Doctor Who is mostly immune to drugs. Most drugs — he mentions shrooms as an example at one point — do nothing to him, but he's once seen tipsy from drinking ginger beer, and once hallucinated after taking antihistamines. Not to mention curing himself of cyanide poisoning in one episode of the new series. Also, aspirin can kill him. | |

Deus Ex: Alcohol will heal you, although it will mess up your screen for a short period of time, and zyme, a rather addictive drug of the future, will just blur your screen as well. Cigarettes will harm you though. Averted in Deus Ex: Invisible War however, in which alcohol will harm the character. In Human Revolution, alcohol will again health you (though with Regenerating Health it's mostly for temporarily boosting health beyond the regular maximum) and make you drunk, and while they're not an item it's stated Adam's aug's cancel out any negative effects of smoking (he muses that he's not even capable of a little self-destruction anymore). | |

The Mick: Mick gets Sabrina to stay home the first night by offering her some absinthe. They drink a few shots, Sabrina laughs off her attempt to drink her under the table, drinks a few more... and then has to sit down because Mick spiked it with six different sleep drugs. | |

One character in The Men Who Stare at Goats claims to have built up a tolerance to a number of narcotics. Considering how he acts when dosed with LSD (along with a military base) this may not be true, or that may just be how he acts all the time now... | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In the final season of Angel Spike moans about how hard it is for vampires to get drunk. He and Angel are next seen drunk, several hours later having drunk all the alcohol on the private jet they're on. Spike is seen very drunk in the Buffy season 3 episode "Lovers Walk", though. Probably must have consumed a ton of hard liquor for that. |

Diabolik: A number of characters from this comic have been treated in such a way they can resist the effects of Truth Serums. Also, the title character and his partner Eva, being extremely paranoid and with full justification, have treated themselves in such a way that mind-control drugs have extremely little effect on them. Inspector Ginko is not exactly immune to sedatives and drugs (and in fact was once forcefully addicted to heroin in revenge by some criminals), but Truth Serums don't have the desired effect on him due sheer willpower. The same willpower allowed him to completely recover in little time once he got treatment. |

The various Doctors from The Authority, not to be confused with Doctor Who, have had problems with this. At least one of them went on a murderous rage that ended with drinking every bottle of Dom Perignon in existence (leaving him so drunk he couldn't fight back). The first Doctor in the series was a heroin addict, something that was a continuing problem for him. This is despite their ability to alter reality at will which normally puts this trope in effect. | |

Lum and other Oni characters from Urusei Yatsura are immune to alcohol (and probably most poisons too, as seen with some badly-prepared fugu in a manga story arc) thanks to their alien metabolism. However, eating plums will make them drunk. | |

Rob Van Dam.

Mass Effect: Andromeda: At one point Ryder can down a Gargle Blaster made from half of another Gargle Blaster (see the Mass Effect 2 entry down below). Despite it being a substance that apparently goes through humans "like ground glass", the only thing Ryder suffers is a sore head and embarrassment. It's possible their AI assistant SAM is helping with this, but the game doesn't say. | |

The Old World Blues to New Vegas add-on adds the Logan's Loophole trait, which makes you immune to chem addiction, but caps your level at 30. As with other traits, you can change it with the upgraded Sink Auto Doc, and you get another perk anyway in the add-on which boosts your addiction resistance, stacking with Chem Resistant. | |

André the Giant needed a lot of alcohol to get drunk, due to his gigantism as well as having built up a tolerance over the years. It took a whole case of beer just to give him a buzz, and the one time he did pass out from drinking, he'd consumed 119 bottles of beer within a period of six hours. When he needed surgery at one point, the anesthesiologist wasn't prepared for someone his size and had to gauge the dosage based on how much it took to get him drunk. Apparently it took about two liters of vodka to make him feel "warm inside." | |

In Thank You for Smoking, a group of anti-tobacco activists kidnap tobacco industry spokesperson Nick Naylor and attempt to kill him with a lethal dose of nicotine (by covering him from head to foot in nicotine patches). Later, his doctor tells him that he only survived because of his years of smoking, but if he ever smokes again, he could die because of the damage from the overdose. | |

How to Kill a Monster: The kids try to poison the monster by feeding it a pie after lacing it with many poisonous substances. They add rat poison, dry cleaner, turpentine, ammonia, paint, and mothballs. The monster eats it and collapses, but it soon turns out that the super poisonous pie only briefly knocked it out instead of killing it or even keeping it incapacitated for a good period of time. After it wakes up, it goes on like nothing happened with no lingering ill effects. | |

The Hobbit mentions that elves (unlike the D&D ones) are quite difficult to get drunk. They are shown to get drunk on really large mugs of very strong wine (the exact amount needed is not specified), but then, Legolas is of somewhat higher blood than a mere warden. In fact it's difficult to get Legolas legless! | |
