Demonus is an alcoholic beverage that causes intoxication in both demons and angels, but has no effect on humans. There are also Non-alcoholic variations of Demonus, as mentioned in the Pop Quiz The Great Demonus Awards!. The drink is common in the Devildom, and there are a wide variety of vintages and variations.
== Overview ==
Because there are so many varieties of Demonus, the color of the beverage varies. However, as seen in the art for cards such as Quality Time for Two, Special Demonus, and After-Party, the most common color seems to be a pale gold. The amount of magic content in Demonus also varies. As mentioned in Lesson 50-_ (NB), the longer Demonus has been aged, the higher the magic content. As seen in Lesson 6-17 Hard (OM), Demonus is not the only alcoholic beverage in the Devildom.
As mentioned in the chat Homemade Cookies 2, salty foods pair well with Demonus. The chat Demonus Gacha also mentioned a subscription box-type company known as "Demonox" that sends people random bottles of Demonus.
As mentioned in the Devilgram A Joint Effort, some demons can't drink Demonus. Non-alcoholic Demonus is produced primarily for demons who want to drink, but can't. This is likely due to age, as Luke explained that he isn't allowed to drink Demonus either.
As mentioned in the Devilgram Belphie Unfiltered, mixing Demonus with hot pepper syrup creates a kind of truth serum. The effects of the serum wear off as one sobers up. These confessions become exaggerated if one has transformed into a werewolf costume, especially under a full moon.
A (non-alcoholic) version of Demonus was made available at Mixx Garden during an Obey Me! collaboration event in 2022.

As explained in the Pop Quiz The Great Demonus Awards!, Demonus is most commonly made using Depravity Fruit, which is a fruit cultivated solely for Demonus production. Demonus can also be made with a much rarer fruit originally called Ecstasy Orange but more recently known as "Rapturous Citrus." According to Mephistopheles, the Devildom nobility have invested in demonus-producing wineries. 
To celebrate an especially abundant Depravity Fruit harvest, these nobles once organized an event called the Demonus Grand Prix to award the best vintages. The three categories included best original and non-alcoholic Demonus, and concluded with a performance-based demonstration.
== Serving ==
In at least some ways, Demonus is opened and served in a similar manner to Champagne. In the Devilgram Let's Party, Mammon shook a bottle of Gold Demonus until the cork popped, which is a common practice when celebrating with champagne. In the chat Demonus Sabers, Barbatos explained one technique used to open a bottle of Demonus that is very similar to sabrage, a ceremonial method of opening a champagne bottle. The Demonus tower featured in the Devilgram and card art for A Little Help closely resembles a champagne tower.
Demonus is traditionally drunk from horns, and while this practice is still in use, it is also commonplace to serve Demonus in stemware. In the Devilgram Date on the Range, a saloon themed restaurant served Demonus in shot glasses, though this was seen as a novelty.

=== Main Story and Events ===
Demonus is first mentioned in the main story in Lesson 17-20 (OM), when Satan and Belphegor planned to prank Lucifer by adding hot sauce to his prized vintage Demonus. Unfortunately for them, he keeps said Demonus in his private study, which has a secret door in the library that is "guarded by powerful magic." Because of this, they were unable to pull off their prank.
In Lesson 19-14 (OM), Asmodeus took MC to Hell's Kitchen and challenged them to a drinking contest. While he's never lost a drinking competition before, he and MC eventually realize that because MC is human, they are immune to the intoxicating effects of Demonus. Asmodeus is certainly not immune to said effects, however. After losing the contest, he became overly emotional, and hugged MC with tears in his eyes while asking them not to leave the Devildom, despite the exchange program soon ending.
