Since 2009, the song has faced criticism among some listeners for the alleged implications of its lyrics, with certain elements, such as the line "What's in this drink?" and the host's unrelenting pressure for the guest to stay in spite of her repeated suggestions that she should go home, being described as suggestive of sexual harassment or even date rape. However, others have noted that cultural expectations at the time of the song's writing were such that women were not socially permitted to spend the night with a boyfriend or fiancé, and that the woman states that she wants to stay, while "What's in this drink?" was a common idiom of the period used to rebuke social expectations by blaming one's actions on the influence of alcohol. Susan Loesser, the daughter of Frank Loesser, blamed the song's negative connotation on its association with Bill Cosby after television programs such as "Saturday Night Live" and "South Park" depicted the song being performed by the comedian, who had been accused of sexually assaulting several women and later convicted in one case.
