Recently, there have been a handful of legal beverages that have hit the market, which beverages have been named after narcotics. Right off the top of my head, there is one called Cocaine, and another called Drank.

Now think this through with me for a second. Suppose you are an EMT, and you have just arrived at a scene where someone has been hurt. There is a party going on, full blast, and this person is unconcious. You ask someone nearby what he has had. Remember, you’ve come into this cold, and have no idea what this person has been doing for the past several hours, and probably have never met this person before. You have no idea. If you ask, and are told that he (or she) has had cocaine or drank or some other narcotic, you are going to, no doubt, alter your treatment accordingly.

I expect that this misinformation will also make it to the doctors at the hospital, and will just make it all the more entertaining.

No, naming legal beverages after illegal narcotics is a flat-out dumb idea.
