Alcohol and drugs? You bet! Kingdom Hearts 2 (and Kingdom Hearts 1, to be brutally honest) are boiling to the brim with both. "Alcohol?" says you. "Definitely," says I, "That should be quite obvious." Both Auron and Captain Jack Sparrow show up in KH2. "Oh," says you, "Say no more." That's right. Two very heavy drinkers who would send this message to kids: "Drinking makes you kick ass better" and you should never say "ass" to a kid. It's just wrong. Now, there is some slightly more subtle drinking going on in KH1, done by Kairi off-scene. She passed out drunk on Destiny Island and was thus knocked out for just about the entire rest of the game.
Drugs! KH is FILTHY with drugs. The night before Sora plans to leave the island (the same night when Kairi got dead drunk) Sora experiments with some odd grass he found during his scavenger hunt. From then on, everything Sora sees is one big hallucination not unlike Katamari Damaci. He whacks people with a 2x4, thinking he is ridding the world of evil, evil darkness, when he is in fact disturbing the peace. The authorities chase Sora around, and invariably get themselves killed by this remarkably skilled drug addict.
In fact, since meeting up with Donald and Goofy, Sora was able to arrange a drug cartel with the HQ located in the sewers of Traverse Town. Using the gummi ship and his usual excuse of "I'm the Keyblade Master, I've gotta save the worlds!" he transports the weed throughout the, um, galaxy, to all the needy Disney characters we idolized as kids. To avoid suspicion, he stores the weed in his volumous pants while on worlds. In KH2, he acquires some pockets. Sales go up.
Unfortunately, Riku caught a whiff of the grass and is thusly "playing along". By way of a strange allergic reaction to the weed, he develops a strange skin condition that makes it painful to wear clothes, so he doesn't. His addiction and ambition drive him to endeavor to steal Sora's drug cartel, with the help of long-time addict Maleficent and some flunkies who can't hold their weed. Ansem is his schizophrenic buddy.
The affects of the drug on Sora are diverse, and include ideas such as "melding" with his companions. Let's not discuss what he's actually doing... Sora often points his 2x4 at things and shouts "Fire!" and imagines flashing lights and random wardrobe changes, possibly aided by the abundance of lava lamps he keeps in his presence. He refers to his companions as Mr. Pockets (Goofy) and Mr. Hat (Donald), which correspond to their hiding places for weed and are thus their most important features in Sora's eyes.
And so, Kingdom Hearts is really all about the drugs. The end, should you succeed, entails Sora rolling in the munnies and the bitches. Then dying, after jumping off a cliff because he thought he was in "Neverland".
