Chemical warfare

The smart and usually simple tactic of taking someone you like out even though they are not interested in you and pumping them full of alcoholic drinks until they succumb to your amazing charms.

Often used by people who have befriended a person of the opposite sex who is hindered from persuing a relationship with them due to factors like already having a significant other.

Ken: Dude, can't believe you nailed that girl. She wasn't even talking to you until you bought her a drink.

Dave: Yeah dave, i'm a master at chemical warfare.
