If Agroking took the trouble to make a good -ible on a nonsense recipe and people will actually read the nonsense, (and maybe get a laugh, like okoshima), who really cares? The -ible can always be unpublished or deleted if no one likes it.
Secondly, this -ible teaches a few other things besides how to end up with alcohol poisoning. One made valid by your post (no offense) is "Don't publish nonsense". Coming off of that, another would be "Someone will always disagree with what you do, so be ready". A few made valid by my response are "There are people in the world who do try to defend the weak, so don't assume the world is worse than Hell" (maybe a bit of an extreme case), and "El Mano is interested in things that don't involve computers, explosives, or dismantled electronics" (which is rather useless, unless, like me, you tend to collect random tidbits of fact in the hope that they may someday be useful).
I can't drink, so I have no interest in a Gargle Blaster cocktail, but I was bored and when I saw this -ible I clicked on it (Another lesson, children: "Don't be afraid to advertise, and be careful about what you publish, because no matter where you leave a message, you never can be sure who might come across what you put down"). Nothing personal, it just irritated me that you were giving Agroking flak for a decent (if hard-pressed-to-be-useful) Instructable.
Instructables is a web-based documentation platform where passionate people share what they do and how they do it, and learn from and collaborate with others

I have seen plenty of other ibles that looked like they would be really sweet to try, only to find that the poster had only put pictures of their creation. I realise plenty of people who would argue that this is also what the statement of purpose allows for, but it says "...share what they do AND how they do it..." not just show what they do.
Despite being of a joking nature, one could argue that this ible is more in line with the mission statement than showing off pictures because it actually explain a HOW TO (even if you can never find the ingredients).
(Despite the fact that for the record, I do agree that an ible should be something people can actually follow the instructions from, I also realise that when you give people the freedom to create their own content, unless you actually police the site people will do something else. As Okoshima says below, this is one of the best joke ibles I've seen.) As long as people don't over do these kind of "ibles" I don't see a BIG problem with it. It gives the site character.
